Tungsten Carbide wire drawing nibs was pressed into steel holder, to work as a wire drawing die, which was widely used in the production of wire, cable, tube, and other related products. As the parameters of tungsten carbide, the dies can last longer time and need less replacement and maintain, which make it more profitable for users. As there’re many different kinds of wire/tube/rod products, there’re various kinds of different wire drawing dies and nibs, including types S11 series, S12 series, S13 series, W series, WTA series, R series, etc.
