Vassena: introducing a brand-new material for aluminum wire drawing

The collaboration between Vassena Filiere and Hyperion Materials and Technologies has led to the development of a brand-new material designed specifically for the drawing of non-ferrous metals, particularly aluminum.

This new grade is a patented cobalt-free hard metal carbide quality by Hyperion itself. It offers a range of cost-related advantages compared to traditional dies. The new material provides improved hardness at high processing temperatures - remaining stable even at temperatures exceeding 600°C - as well as exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion.

With a lower friction coefficient compared to regular carbide, this new product has anti-galling properties that prevent adherence. Other significant features include low density, high toughness, and medium grain size that, in addition to its cobalt-free formulation, make this new grade the ideal solution for companies looking to eliminate cobalt exposure for employees and the surrounding environment.

This innovative material allows for cost reduction and improved finishing. Thanks to the new patented cobalt-free hard metal carbide, Vassena Filiere can venture into a previously unexplored sector: non-ferrous materials.
