DuraNib™ Carbide Nibs

Cobalt-free cemented carbide wire dies blank solution for efficiently drawing non-ferrous materials, such as aluminum, copper, and titanium
dura-nib-carbide-nibs.jpg

DuraNib carbide nibs are a revolutionary type of cemented carbide blank designed for non-ferrous wire drawing applications. The innovative carbide grade expands Hyperion's comprehensive portfolio of wire drawing solutions and is the first cobalt-free cemented carbide formulation in the market proven for wire drawing. Its phenomenal hardness stability at high temperatures of service and outstanding resistance to galling makes DuraNib unique.

DuraNib offers several benefits when drawing non-ferrous wire. It has a significantly lower friction coefficient than regular tungsten carbide grades, resulting in excellent resistance to material adhesion (galling). In applications with temperatures above 600ºC, regular carbide grades significantly drop hardness while DuraNib maintains stability. DuraNib also exhibits great corrosion resistance when in contact with acidic metals, making it an ideal choice for processes where the workpiece may be involved in challenging environments. Finally, DuraNib has a great balance of properties, maintaining a high toughness and wear resistance.

DuraNib™ Applications

 

DuraNib carbide blanks are especially useful in applications where galling is a significant challenge in wire drawing. Galling, a form of wear caused by adhesion between sliding surfaces, can lead to premature wear and scratching of the wire. DuraNib exhibits minimum wear and provides exceptional wire surface finish because of its galling resistance. Thanks to these properties, DuraNib is a perfect choice for drawing non-ferrous materials such as aluminum or copper high-voltage conductors, titanium for medical applications, and conforming copper with other applications.

Along with its revolutionary productivity advantages, DuraNib is also an innovative leader in environmental sustainability. DuraNib does not contain cobalt as its metallic binder like most cemented carbides, which promotes a healthy and safe environment for those using the product.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies offers DuraNib carbide nib blanks in numerous standard geometries, such as DIN, JIS, ISO, and R-Series. The offering can be as-sintered, OD ground, or cased.
