Carbide dies have been used in the wire industry for many years. They
are used in various drawing applications where diamond dies are not economical or where
hole tolerance is not as critical.They are used extensively in the steel industry as well
as the nonferrous industry in applications such as bunching or stranding large diameter
cables. These dies are available in a large range of nib and hole sizes.
Tungsten Carbide (TC) (.0080 - 1.250 inch) (0.1524 - 31.750 mm)
