How to improve the service of carbide drawing dies？

To significantly improve the service life of cemented carbide wire drawing dies, the key lies in scientific selection, standardized use and systematic maintenance. First of all, we should choose the suitable grade of cemented carbide according to the characteristics of the processed material, YG6X is suitable for fine wire drawing, YG8 is suitable for medium and coarse wires, and YG15 is more suitable for coarse wires processing, and at the same time, we should ensure the reasonable design of the mold structural parameters, such as the entrance angle, the angle of the working area and the length of the calibrating belt. Among them, you can consult Jinxin's experts for the selection of carbide grade, and we can propose more solutions for you.

Installation requires strict control of centering accuracy and preloading force, progressive commissioning method, and proper lubrication system.

Optimization of process parameters is essential to extend the life of the die. Set reasonable drawing speeds for different materials, with copper and aluminum controlled at 15-25m/s, mild steel at 8-15m/s, and stainless steel at 5-10m/s, while keeping the working temperature in the range of 40-60℃.

Establish a regular maintenance system, including daily inspection of the surface condition, weekly professional polishing, monthly depth testing, and the use of vibration analysis, temperature monitoring and other advanced technologies to monitor the mold status in real time, found that minor wear and tear in a timely manner polishing and repair, moderate wear and tear to consider laser cladding treatment.
