Features and Benefits
Synthetic polycrystalline diamond 【PCD】is sintered from micronsized diamondparticles and a binder material. Polycrystalline diamond are available invarious grain sizes, both in supported and unsupported configurations.

Diamond wire dies with PCD blanks can be used for ferrous and non-ferrous wire drawing applications and for virtually any type of wet and dry wire drawing process. Sizes are available for drawing applications ranging from large drawn rod to ultra-fine wire.
