Importance of Surface Finish and Geometry: Reduce Tear off Rates with Proper Ironing Die Design

The Importance of Surface Finish and Geometry for Reducing Tear off Rates with Proper Ironing Die Design

The ironing process in the bodymaker machine is a critical step for the manufacturing of drawn and wall-ironed aluminum cans. To ensure the production of high-quality can bodies with low tear off rates, proper ironing die design is essential. Two of the most important factors to consider for designing optimized ironing dies are geometry and surface finish.

4 Considerations When Selecting Between PCD & Carbide for Your Wire Drawing Process

PCD vs Carbide: What Material is the Best Option for your Wire Drawing Application?

The wire drawing process can be extremely complicated, because it causes a significant strain on both the wire being manufactured and the die used to form it. If the process is handled correctly, you avoid premature breakage, scratching, microcavities on the surface or severely stressed wire that is difficult to draw.

Benefits of a non-rival supplier

The Benefits of Using a Blank-only Supplier

When it comes to the manufacturing of carbide tools, toolmakers face a crucial decision: Should they source carbide tool blanks from a specialized supplier that solely focuses on blank production, or should they rely on a competitor who produces both blanks and final tools? Specialized, blank-only suppliers offer unique benefits for carbide toolmaker when compared to blank suppliers who also manufacture tools that compete with your end-product.
