The Application And Differences Of Polycrystalline Dies
High-Crystalline Dies
Nano-Dies And Tungsten Steel Die
The application and differences of polycrystalline dies, high-crystalline dies, nano-dies and tungsten steel dies
| Parameters | Tungsten steel die | Polycrystalline die | High crystal die | Nano die |
| Hardness | Low (HRA 85-90) | High (second only to single crystal diamond) | Extremely high (close to single crystal) | Ultra-high (CVD coating) |
| Surface finish | Rough | Medium | high | Mirror level |
| Aperture range | Medium and small aperture | Small aperture (< 10mm) | Small aperture (< 10mm) | Wide (1.2-50mm) |
| Service life | Short(prone to wear) | Relatively short (prone to wear) | Medium | Extremely long (coating wear resistance) |
| Cost | Low | Medium | High | High (but with better cost performance) |
Differences in application scenarios
1.Tungsten steel die
It is suitable for low-cost scenarios such as steel and aluminum wire drawing.
Not recommended for copper wire or high-precision requirements.
2.Polycrystalline die
Conventional wire drawing of copper and aluminum conductors, such as building cables and medium and low voltage power cables;
Batch production that requires frequent die changes.
3.High crystal mode
High-precision wires (such as ultra-fine enameled wires, precision welding wires);
Scenarios where high surface quality is required but extreme wear resistance is not necessary.
4.Nano die
High-voltage cables: Reduce burrs on conductors, prevent damage to the inner semiconductive layer, and enhance electrical performance;
High-speed wire drawing: Suitable for production lines with a speed of over 15m/s, reducing the frequency of downtime for maintenance.
Large aperture requirements: such as rail transit contact lines, forming of special-shaped conductors.

Changzhou Shen Litong Mould invites you to visit the exhibition
From August 27th to 29th, 2025, at SHANGHAI NEW INTERNATIONAL EXPO CENTRE,the 12th China International Wire&Cable Industry Exhibition (Hall E1, G21), Shen Litong Dies sincerely invites you to visit, exchange and offer guidance, and jointly explore new developments in the industry.
Read MoreOptimizing Your Wire Drawing Process: Selecting the Ideal Die Configuration for Material & Application
The wire drawing process is a critical metal forming operation that reduces the cross-section of wire by pulling it through a series of progressively smaller dies.
Read MoreCommon Wire Surface Defects: Causes and Die-Related Solutions
Abrasions or Built-up Edges (BUE): Accumulation of wire material (e.g., copper, aluminum) on the die surface, which then scratches subsequent wire.
