PCD Wire Drawing Dies
Polycrystalline diamond dies from φ0.03 mm to φ20.00 mm for drawing and to φ40.00 mm for stranding.
Product Overview
PCD Wire Drawing Dies
PCD dies can be used for any type of wet and dry wire drawing process, and are the choice for larger sizes where demanding wear is the problem and surface finish is less critical. PCD die lifespan is longer than tungsten carbide dies, natural diamond dies and single crystal diamond dies.

- Best suited toHighly abrasive wire materials
Key Benefits
What This Model Gives You
Longest Die Life of Any Die Material
With the highest production efficiency and the least downtime.
φ0.03 mm to φ40.00 mm
From ultra fine wire drawing at 0.03 mm to cable stranding at 40.00 mm.
Predictable Surface Finish
The finish stays consistent along the run rather than drifting as the hole opens.
Built for Abrasive Wire
Ideal for highly abrasive wire materials, which is where carbide life collapses.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Saw wire
- Stainless steel and carbon steel wire
- Welding wire
- Aluminium and copper wire
- Tyre cord drawing
Industries
Problems It Solves
Why Buyers Specify It
- Carbide die life collapses on abrasive wire
- Downtime for die changes is worth more than the die
- Natural and single crystal diamond dies cost more and last less on large sizes
Compared With Other Models
Tungsten carbide is used where diamond dies are not economical or where hole tolerance is not critical. PCD lasts longer than carbide, natural diamond and single crystal diamond. Nano diamond coated dies go further again on life and hold the size with effectively zero wear.

Use Guide
How It Is Set Up and Run
- Select PCD where the wire is abrasive and the surface finish requirement is moderate.
- Give the wire material and the finished diameter, not just the die size.
- For cable stranding, state the construction — the stranding range runs to φ40.00 mm.
- Track metres per die against the incumbent to see the real saving.
Customisation and Supply
What Is Built to Order
Dies to Your Wire
Dies are manufactured for wire between 0.10 mm and 25.0 mm to suit round or profile wire and rod, to the customer's own specification, at -1% / +2% of the wire diameter.
Your Electrical Supply
On the motorised and hydraulic machines, operating voltage is built to the industrial supply of the destination country. State voltage, phase and frequency with the order.
Export Packing
Machines are packed in a strong wooden or plywood case as stated per model. Carry cases are supplied with the portable welders and the DA10.

PCD Wire Drawing Dies Questions
What sizes are available
φ0.03 mm to φ20.00 mm for wire drawing and φ0.50 mm to φ40.00 mm for cable stranding.
Which wire materials suit PCD
Various ferrous and non-ferrous metal rod and wire — saw wire, stainless steel wire, carbon steel wire, welding wire, aluminium wire, copper wire and tyre cord.
Is PCD better than natural diamond
For these applications yes. PCD lifespan is longer than tungsten carbide dies, natural diamond dies and single crystal diamond dies.
When would we not use PCD
Where hole tolerance is not critical and the wire is not abrasive — tungsten carbide is more economical there.
