Tungsten carbide drawing dies made to your quality requirements allow you to meeting quality, uptime and speed standards. MN tungsten carbide drawing dies (TC dies) give the wire manufacturer the ability to maintain uniform wire roundness, minimizing material usage and scrap. Tungsten carbide dies are an excellent option for manufacturing ferrous rod-size wires. They are also ideal for short trial runs. MN TC drawing dies are manufactured with a mirror polish and a smooth wire entry to ensure optimal die life and string-up. MN offers a complete line of TC drawing dies for rod-size wire down to medium-size wire.
