Tungsten Carbide Wire Drawing Die
Tungsten carbide wire drawing dies are essential tools for producing precise metal wires of consistent quality. They are used to draw steel, copper, aluminum, and alloy wires in various diameters for wire, cables, springs, and fasteners.
During production, the wire passes through a series of dies with progressively smaller hole sizes. The tungsten carbide core is in direct contact with the wire, ensuring it withstands high pressure, friction, and wear.
Carbide Wire Drawing Die Material Grades
Grade | Features |
YG6X | Better wear resistance than YG6, slightly less tough. |
YG6 | High wear resistance, good strength and toughness. |
YG8 | Good wear resistance, higher toughness than YG6. |
YG10 | Highest strength and toughness, good impact resistance. |
Tungsten Carbide Punch Die
Carbide punch dies are precision tools made from high-quality tungsten carbide materials, designed for high-speed, high-pressure stamping operations. With exceptional hardness and wear resistance, they are ideal for producing complex and high-precision metal parts in demanding industries.
Carbide Punch Die Material Grades
Grade | Features |
YG8 | High wear resistance, lower strength |
YG8C | Lower wear resistance, higher strength |
YG11C | Lower wear resistance, high strength |
YG15 | Lower wear resistance, high strength |
YG20 | Lower wear resistance, high strength |
YG20C | Good wear resistance, higher strength than YG20 |
YG25 | Lower wear resistance, highest strength |
Tungsten Carbide Cold Heading Die
Tungsten carbide cold heading dies are designed for cold forming metal parts such as bolts, screws, rivets, and other fasteners. They can withstand extreme pressure during the forming process without deforming, ensuring high dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Grade | Features |
YG6 | High wear resistance, medium strength and toughness. |
YG8 | Good wear resistance, higher strength and toughness than YG6. |
YG11 | Moderate wear resistance, high strength and toughness. |
YG15 | Lower wear resistance, very high strength and toughness. |

Tungsten Carbide Extrusion Die
Carbide extrusion dies are precision tools used for shaping materials by forcing them through a die opening. They are commonly divided into forward extrusion dies and reverse extrusion dies.
During operation, the die is subjected to significant radial forces and friction, which can lead to wear and deformation. Using tungsten carbide cold extrusion dies can significantly increase tool life and improve the surface quality of extruded parts.
The carbide materials used for extrusion dies must combine high wear resistance with adequate toughness to withstand impact loads and prevent cracking.
Grade | Features |
YG15 | Good wear resistance, high strength, suitable for high-stress extrusion applications. |
How to Choose Right Carbide Dies for Your Business?
Selecting the proper tungsten carbide die is essential to ensure optimal performance, longer service life, and cost-efficiency in your manufacturing process. Consider the following factors when choosing the right carbide die:
1. Understand Your Application Requirements
- Material Type: Different materials (e.g., aluminum, copper, steel) require dies with specific wear resistance and toughness.
- Operating Conditions: Temperature, pressure, and speed affect die selection.
2. Choose the Appropriate Carbide Grade
- Carbide grades vary in hardness and toughness. For heavy-duty punching or extrusion, select grades with higher toughness (e.g., YG15).
- For precision and wear resistance, higher hardness grades are preferred.
3. Consider Die Design Compatibility
- Ensure the die design matches your machinery and tooling system to avoid fitment issues.
- Check die dimensions and tolerance requirements.
4. Evaluate Wear Resistance and Toughness
- Balance wear resistance and toughness based on the material being processed and impact load conditions.
5. Maintenance and Service Life
- Regular inspection and maintenance extend the die’s lifespan.
- Consult with experts for regrinding or refurbishing options.
