Drawing Application Guidelines |
(1) |
 (1)
The application guidelines are recommended starting parameters with companies
optimizing parameters through experience.
(2) Range in relative die performance is due primarily to difference in wire compositions,
properties and operating conditions by companies.

Die User Guidelines
- Recut or repolish die on observation of wear ring in area of wire contact
to maximize die life.
- Filter lubricant to remove metal fines to maximize lubricant flow, wire finish
and die life.
- Do not exceed maximum die size recommendation for blank size.
- Decrease bearing length for higher speed drawing.
- Use finer grain die blanks for improved wire surface finish and when drawing
ferrous and plated wires.
- Use coarser grain die blanks for drawing larger size nonferrous wire to provide
longer die life and improved wire dimensional control.
- In high temperature drawing of tungsten and molybdenum wire maintain reducing
atmosphere in drawing zone to minimize detrimental oxidation effects and maximize
die life.
- Use matched elongation die sets in multi-wire drawing machines.
