How Does Die Wear Affect Wire Drawing Accuracy

During wire drawing, the material passes through a die under continuous contact and pressure. The die controls the shape of the passage through which the wire moves, so its condition has a direct connection with the dimensions and surface condition of the finished wire. The working surface does not remain unchanged throughout production. Repeated contact...

Die Angle Selection How Approach Angle Affects Wire Surface Finish and Die Wear Rate

In wire drawing, a drawing die may look like a small component compared with the rest of the production line, but its internal geometry has a direct effect on how the wire moves and changes shape. One feature that deserves particular attention is the approach angle, the conical section where the incoming wire is reduced...
