Although low carbon steel wire is soft, it carries oxide scale, dust and abrasive impurities, which will quickly wear out traditional carbide dies. This causes frequent die changes, size fluctuation and poor surface finish.
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) drawing dies show obvious advantages for low carbon steel wire drawing:
• Better wear resistance: Service life is 3 to 5 times longer than carbide dies, stable and reliable.
• High smoothness & low friction: Effectively avoid wire sticking, scratching and breakage.
• Stable dimension accuracy: Very suitable for high-speed and mass production.
• Lower overall cost: Reduce downtime, labor cost and material waste.
For high-speed, long-running low carbon steel wire production, PCD drawing dies are the most cost-effective choice.
