From thousands of years, wire is being manufactured by different types of methods. The manufacturing of wire is quite simple, but requires a higher degree of perfection. Earlier, wire are extruded while using strip & block twisting method, cranked pulling technique and hand pulling procedures.
Each method has their own sets of merits and demerits. Today, different specifications of Wire Drawing Dies are used for making wire in order to achieve better quality and uniform volume.
Wire Drawing Machine manufacturers have presented various types of configuration that are used for drawing different types of wire. Standard wire drawing dies, TC wire drawing dies, PCD wire drawing are some to mention. Depending upon the application, these dies are used. For instance, single crystal diamond dies are used for achieving very fine drawing. Cast steel dies are used for drawing hot wire and tungsten carbide dies are used for steel wire drawing.
Dies are employed for guiding the wire for entering, moving through and existing bunching and stranding machines. Therefore, dies are placed in a steel casing for backing the die and allowing easy die change. An angle of 6-15° is usually kept in dies with each die having at least 2 different angles, one is entering angle and other is approaching angle.
The procedure of wire drawing involves hammering, filing, rolling and swagging of wire before feeding it to drawing dies for diameter reduction. Multiple drawings, through a smaller diameter of dies, are needed to achieve a desired diameter of wire and uniform volume.
