Shaving Die Blanks

Shaving die blanks are turned into finished shaving dies, which are cemented carbide cutting tools that remove a uniform thickness of metal through a circular blade to improve the surface quality of wires. A shaving die helps create a surface defect-free wire rod for iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals.

There are several benefits to shaving wire with shaving dies manufactured from high-quality cemented carbide shaving die blanks compared to other procedures. First, shaving dies offer an exceptional surface finish for wires that is defect-free for iron, steel, and non-ferrous metals. Second, shaving dies provide excellent flexibility when processing any material. Third, shaving dies enhance the operational speed for processing wires and improve abrasion and wear resistance on the draw-peeled surface. Fourth, shaving dies provide a low investment cost compared to turn-peeling plants. Finally, shaving dies improves draw-peeling by providing the exact adjustment of the chip removal due to the relation of the lean die.​

Shaving dies made from cemented carbide blanks are utilized across multiple applications, such as springs for automotive, music, valves, and transmissions, and clutch wires. They are also used to draw various materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, and magnesium. The blanks can be supplied in different sizes and tolerances, and the parts can be tailor-made according to design or development in conjunction with Hyperion's material experts.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies offers two cemented carbide grades for wire drawing shaving die blanks, MP10 and ES35. Both grades are versatile across multiple applications and provide different sizes, tolerances, and drawing speeds.
