The future of wire drawing

$15.00

This paper discusses developments in the application of hard metals in metal working. It addresses hard metal in the production of wiredrawing dies; the system of using hard metal nibs with modular dies that can be disassembled; the evolution of disposable dies into innovative pressure dies to improve lubrication, increase drawing speed, and constantly produce wire of superior mechanical and surface properties; and different types of nib and pressure dies.
