Carbide dies are frequently and successfully used in wire drawing (round & shaped), bunching, stranding, guiding, and split die applications.
Typically tungsten carbide dies are used for manufacturing wire or rod, generally in highly abrasive and high carbon material areas where PCD dies are not cost effective. It is often used in short run applications where trials, testing or small lots are desired.
Tungsten Carbide dies can be made in a wide range of sizes, ranging from 0.10 – 80.0 mm (.0.0039 - 3.149”) or larger upon request.
