Applications Wire of nonferrous metals, such as copper and aluminium, is best drawn with Poly-Di® polycrystalline diamond dies (PCD) that maintain high wear resistance, but also yield a good wire surface finish. Tungsten carbide dies are best used on steel wire, for short run or other applications that place cost savings above die life. Typical Markets Aluminium wire, copper wire, stainless steel wire and steel wire |
