Recent Application of Synthetic Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) Dies (Reflections as to their Workability and use in Nowadays Wire & Cable Production Technologies)

$15.00

Because of their polycrystalline structure and outstanding hardness, offering both an increased die-tool life and an accurate diametrical control, PCD Die-Tools have gained a considerable percentage of the industrial market share, once divided exclusively between natural single crystal diamond and tungsten carbide drawing tools.Now being available in a great variety of sizes, grades and shapes, PCD die-tools show a distinct superiority over traditionally used die-materials in most wire-drawing operations.
