Tungsten Carbide Wire Drawing Dies
TC dies from 0.015 mm to 32.0 mm, in a large range of nib and hole sizes.
Product Overview
Tungsten Carbide Wire Drawing Dies
Tungsten carbide dies have been used in the wire and cable industry for many years, in the drawing applications where diamond dies are not economical or where the hole tolerance is not as critical. They are used extensively in the steel and non-ferrous industries, for example bunching or stranding large diameter cable, and are available across 0.015 mm to 32.0 mm.

Key Benefits
What This Model Gives You
0.015 mm to 32.0 mm
One die material across almost the whole drawing and stranding range.
Large Range of Nib and Hole Sizes
The stock breadth that makes carbide the practical default in a mixed die store.
Economical Where Diamond Is Not
The right answer when hole tolerance is not the critical variable.
Proven in Steel and Non-Ferrous
Used extensively in both industries, including on large diameter cable.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Bunching and stranding large diameter cable
- Steel wire drawing
- Non-ferrous wire drawing
- General purpose die store stock
Industries
Problems It Solves
Why Buyers Specify It
- Diamond dies are not economical on every size and every wire
- Some applications do not need a critical hole tolerance
- Large diameter stranding needs a die that is available, not exotic
Compared With Other Models
Carbide is the economical default. PCD lasts longer on abrasive wire and covers 0.03-20.00 mm drawing and 0.50-40.00 mm stranding. Nano diamond coated dies run at least 10 times longer than carbide on the same wire, and over 30 times on aluminium.
Use Guide
How It Is Set Up and Run
- Use carbide where hole tolerance is not critical or diamond is not economical.
- Give the nib size and the hole size when ordering from stock.
- For bunching and stranding on large cable, give the construction as well.
- Track hole growth: when the wire drifts out of tolerance, the die is finished.
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.
