SHAVING DIES

SHAVING DIES

Tungsten carbide (TC) insert dies are widely used for shaving/peeling applications.
However, TC shaving die is not relatively lifelong, stripping the surface and high-precision control performance is good.
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) shaving die is a better choice.
It has been shown to provide excellent surface finish and improved consistency for different wire materials.
The bearing area of the polycrystalline diamond skinning die supports the vibration of the wire material. It is much better to shaving the welding wire surface by PCD die than by a TC shaving die.

TC shaving die and PCD shaving die compared:
Tungsten steel alloy (TC) shaving die,

Advantages: cheap cost mold.
Disadvantages: Short life, poor wire consistency, surface defects, high temperature resistance.
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) shaving die,

Advantages: long life, good consistency, high wear resistance and impact resistance.
Disadvantages: Higher unit price, longer lead time.
Application: Copper wire, aluminum wire, gold wire, titanium alloy wire, etc. need to shave the surface of the welding wire.
