Compax* Diamond Die Blanks

Wiring-up your Productivty

Polycrystalline diamond Compax die blanks are produced in a Six Sigma controlled high pressure/high temperature process. Compax products consist of randomly orientated micron size diamond crystals, with extremely high diamond-to-diamond bonding. This important physical property provides Compax die blanks with uniformly high, non-directional hardness as well as unmatched mechanical strength and wear resistance.

Simply Better than Nature

Compax die blanks offer significant advantages compared to natural diamond. Most importantly, Compax blanks have no cleavage planes, which makes them highly resistant to breakage. Due to their randomly orientated crystals uneven wear is successfully prevented. These unique product properties and characteristics result in impressive productivity and cost saving benefits in a wide range of nonferrous, ferrous and high temperature wire drawing applications.

Keys to Success
Excellent Sinter Quality & Homogenic Distribution of Pore Sizes

Consistency and performance in wire drawing applications depend on two main characteristics of a diamond die blank: Excellent sinter quality and a perfectly homogenic distribution of pore sizes within the polycrystalline diamond structure. This provides the die manufacturer with the capability to generate a high quality polished surface in minimal cycle time and a consistent long die life.
