Tungsten Carbide for Wire Bending and Forming Tools

Introduction

Wire bending and forming machines shape wire into springs, clips, fasteners, and custom forms. Tungsten carbide tooling ensures smooth wire flow and long die life.

Forming Dies

Carbide forming dies and wiper dies bend wire without scratching or marring the surface. Their polished surfaces allow wire to slide smoothly during forming.

Bending Mandrels

Carbide mandrels support wire during bending. They resist abrasion from continuous wire contact and maintain bend radii precisely over long production.

Cut-Off Blades

Carbide cut-off blades shear wire to length cleanly. They hold sharp edges through millions of cuts, producing square ends without burrs.

Wire Guides

Polished carbide wire guides feed wire through forming machines. They reduce friction, prevent wire scratching, and maintain consistent feeding.

Conclusion

Tungsten carbide tooling is essential for wire bending and forming. Its polished surfaces and wear resistance ensure smooth, precise wire products.
