How does die composition affect the final product? The video

When making wire dies there are many factors that can affect the quality of the final product. The design, the material, the grain size, the cobalt percentage (in tungsten carbide dies), the content of the metallic binder (in PCD dies) are all variables you can play with to obtain different degrees of wear resistance and die hardness.

In the video below, Miguel Ángel Jiménez Conejo, manager of Hyperion Metal Forming business segment answers the most Frequently Asked Questions about wire dies and wire drawing: what is a wire die and what is it used for? What types of metal are used in wire drawing? How does die composition affect the wire product?
