MCD drawing dies use natural or HPHT synthetic single crystal diamond as the core material. The single crystal diamond‘s grain‑boundary‑free, complete crystalline structure provides extremely high wear resistance and excellent internal surface finish when drawing fine and precision wires. Compared with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) drawing dies, MCD cores can be polished to a smoother bore surface, significantly reducing drawing friction, extending die life, and improving the surface quality of the finished wire.
Especially suitable for drawing: Tungsten wire, molybdenum wire, copper wire, gold wire, silver wire, platinum‑group precious metal wires, stainless steel micro‑wire, copper‑coated welding wire, and other high‑precision, high‑surface‑quality wires.
