What Attention Should Be Paid To During The Usage Of Tungsten Carbide Wire Drawing Dies?
Tungsten carbide wire drawing die adopts high-quality tungsten carbide as the nib, which has high hardness, good thermal conductivity and low friction coefficient. The tungsten carbide wire drawing die is simple to produce, corrosion resistant, and has strong impact resistance. It is suitable for drawing ferrous and non-ferrous metal wires.
However, there are two aspects need to pay attention to when use the carbide drawing dies:
(1) Surface pretreatment: For wire with dirty surface and more impurities, it must be cleaned and dried before drawing; for wire with more oxide scale on the surface, it must be pickled and baked first. Drawing after drying; for wire with peeling, pits, heavy skin and other phenomena on the surface, it must be polished by a grinder before drawing;
(2) Heat treatment: For wires with excessive hardness or uneven hardness, annealing or tempering should be used to reduce the hardness first, and the wires should maintain good hardness uniformity before drawing. For the treated wire, it is helpful to better ensure the service life of the tungsten carbide wire drawing die and the high finish and high quality of the wire surface.
