Wire drawing dies of different materials

Although wire drawing dies can be used to process various metal and alloy materials such as steel, copper, tungsten, molybdenum, etc., each wire drawing die of different materials has its own applicable processing range. Therefore, reasonable selection of wire drawing die materials is the key to ensuring successful application, in order to obtain the longest mold service life. Different materials of molds have their relatively reasonable processing objects.
Drawing dies can be divided into alloy steel wire drawing dies, cemented carbide dies,nd natural diamond dies,pcd polycrystalline diamond wire drawing dies, CVD diamond drawing dies, and ceramic dies according to material. It is widely used in high-tech industries such as electronic devices, radar, television, instrumentation, and aerospace, with extremely strong wear resistance and high service life.
For example, when drawing copper wires with the same diameter, the service life of pcd polycrystalline diamond wire drawing dies is 300 to 500 times that of cemented carbide dies, while when drawing nickel wires, it is only 80 to 100 times that of cemented carbide dies. When drawing molybdenum wires, its service life is only 50 to 80 times that of cemented carbide dies, while when drawing carbon steel, the service life of polycrystalline diamond drawing dies is only 20 to 60 times that of cemented carbide wire dies.
Blind selection leads to complex friction and wear conditions of iw wire drawing dies, which are generally divided into two categories: damage and friction and wear. The damage of wire drawing dies can be divided into annular damage, tensile damage, shear damage, and support surface damage. Friction and wear can be divided into abrasion wear, frictional wear, corrosion wear, abrasion, and wear caused by fine particles.
