TCHP is a new advanced material suitable for manufacture into dies with prolonged life. Initial performance studies have found wear resistance seven times that of conventional carbide dies. The most obvious application for TCHP dies is for carbon steel drawing, particularly where wear rates are high and use of diamond dies is problematic. This paper reports recent comparisons of TCHP and carbide wear behavior in drawing fine, high-carbon steel wire on commercial drawing systems.
