Carbide wire drawing die blanks DuraNib

Cobalt-free cemented carbide wire dies blank solution for efficiently drawing non-ferrous materials, such as aluminum, copper, and titanium. DuraNib carbide nibs are a revolutionary type of cemented carbide blank designed for non-ferrous wire drawing applications. The innovative carbide grade expands Hyperion's comprehensive portfolio of wire drawing solutions and is the first cobalt-free cemented carbide formulation in the market proven for wire drawing. Its phenomenal hardness stability at high temperatures of service and outstanding resistance to galling makes DuraNib unique. DuraNib offers several benefits when drawing non-ferrous wire. It has a significantly lower friction coefficient than regular tungsten carbide grades, resulting in excellent resistance to material adhesion (galling). In applications with temperatures above 600ºC, regular carbide grades significantly drop hardness while DuraNib maintains stability. DuraNib also exhibits great corrosion resistance when in contact with acidic metals, making it an ideal choice for processes where the workpiece may be involved in challenging environments. Finally, DuraNib has a great balance of properties, maintaining a high toughness and wear resistance.
