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.
