THE
IMPORTANCE
OF
DIES
ELONGATION






SOME
FACTS





- The wire drawing machine is built based on elongation principle.
- The wire drawing dies set have to match the machine wire elongation
- Just some microns difference in the diameter makes a big difference in
set elongation. As smaller is de diameter bigger is the difference in
elongation
- The die wear increase the diameter



EXAMPLES
OF
ELONGATION

0,1075 mm. to 0,100 mm. Elongation 15,6 %

0,1075 mm. to 0,101 mm. Elongation 11,1 %
0,1075 mm. to 0,102 mm. Elongation 13,3 %

0,220 mm. to 0,200 mm. Elongation 21,0 %
0,220 mm. to 0,202 mm. Elongation 18,6 %
0,220 mm. to 0,204 mm. Elongation 16,3 %

MORE
FACTS

- Some machines have the possibility to compensate the elongation
differences
- It’s not so bad if dies elongation is a little bigger comparing with
machine elongation
- NEVER the elongation of the dies should be lower that machine
elongation.


ISSUES
WHEN
WE
HAVE
ELONGATION
DIFFERENCES

-




Wire breaks
- Powder & mud
- Capstans wear
- Speed decrease
- Difficulties to get the right diameter


CONCLUSIONS

We have to be sure the dies set elongation is matching with the machine
elongation, at it does mean basically as follows:

- We need to know if our dies are correctly measured

- Is a must to control de wear and the diameter increase in our dies


COULD
BE
I
HAVE
THESE
ISSUES.
SOLUTIONS
?

Just contact us, we can check it TOGETHER, and correct it if needed, then,
wire drawing will be easy and predictable for you.
