Key characteristics of carbide wire drawing die
High hardness: The hardness of the cemented carbide material is close to diamond, and it can withstand the strong wear of the wire at high speed through the die.
Good thermal conductivity: helps heat dissipate quickly, reduces the size change caused by thermal expansion of the die, and maintains processing accuracy.
Low friction coefficient: Surface treatment optimization, reduce the friction of metal wire through the die, improve wire drawing efficiency, reduce energy consumption.
Corrosion resistance: suitable for processing various metal materials, not easy to be corroded by wire drawing materials.
Impact resistance: stable and not easy to break during high stress stretching operations.
①Equipment and material inspection: ensure that the wire drawing machine is in good condition, and carry out the necessary pretreatment of the wire drawing material, such as cleaning, rust removal and necessary heat treatment.
②Correct use of lubricants: Choose the right lubricant to reduce friction and heat and extend the life of the die.
③Reasonable compression rate selection: Select the appropriate compression rate according to the drawing requirements to avoid premature wear or failure of the die.
④Die installation and maintenance: Install the die correctly, clean and apply anti-rust oil protection in time after use, and check die wear regularly.
⑤Temperature control: Pay attention to the temperature control of the die during the drawing process to avoid overheating resulting in die deformation or performance degradation.
⑥Mold design and customization: Customize the mold according to the specific requirements of wire material, diameter, drawing ratio, etc., to ensure the best drawing effect.
How to Properly Maintain Solid Stranding Dies for Optimal Performance
Solid stranding dies play a critical role in the wire and cable manufacturing industry, ensuring precise shaping and consistent quality during production. To keep these essential tools operating at peak efficiency, proper maintenance is key. Neglecting upkeep can lead to reduced die life, inconsistent product quality, and increased production costs. Here’s a guide on how to maintain solid stranding dies effectively.
