Wire drawing dies: it’s the raw material that makes the difference

Replacing Natural Diamond (ND) with SSCD (Synthetic Single Crystal Diamond)

 
In the production of wire drawing dies, the choice of raw material is crucial to obtain high-quality metal wires. REDIES, a leading manufacturer of synthetic single crystal diamond (SSCD) dies, offers an innovative solution that brings a long series of advantages: let's see them together.

Advantages of REDIES synthetic single crystal diamond dies

REDIES SSCD dies are the ideal choice for wire drawing professionals who want to achieve:

- superior purity and quality: REDIES SSCD dies boast statistically higher purity and more consistent quality than Natural Diamond (ND) dies. This translates into longer die life, better wire finish, and reduced processing scrap;
- optimized volume: the height and diameter of REDIES SSCD dies are carefully selected to ensure a uniform crystal volume. This ensures even heat distribution during the wire drawing process, improving thermal stability and die life;
- perfect crystal orientation: like ND, REDIES SSCD has a guaranteed crystal orientation, ideal for making round wire drawing dies. This guarantees greater precision and better wire quality;
- guaranteed availability: large REDIES SSCD crystals are readily available, eliminating the problem of price fluctuations and scarcity typical of ND;
- traceability and sustainability: REDIES SSCD is a traceable and conflict-free raw material. This ensures ethical and responsible sourcing, in line with the EU Supply Chain Law.

Why SSCD can replace natural diamond without changing the wire drawing process

While virtually indistinguishable, natural diamonds can sometimes contain trace amounts of nitrogen, boron, or other elements. These impurities are what cause the variations in color we see in natural diamonds. The natural diamond critical aspects can also occur during SSCD sintering. However, in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes, it is easier to control the SSCD reaction, and therefore obtain an excellent result.

In addition to wire drawing dies, REDIES also offers a personalized consulting service to help customers choose the ideal solution for their production needs. Furthermore, the company provides a team of experts to support customers in all process stages, from installation to die maintenance.
