Versimax is a revolutionary diamond composite material created from a state-of-the-art high-pressure high-temperature process. It is designed for drawing and compacting applications of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The diamond composite material offers exceptional wear resistance, superior mechanical strength, and phenomenal thermal stability for various ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Versimax diamond composite material exhibits superior corrosion and wear resistance within high-temperature operations. The material's high-strength attributes are similar to cobalt-sintered PCD but with superior thermal stability. Versimax is used as a die blank grade within wire drawing. It is thermally stable up to 1,400°C, creating less risk of failures during the wire drawing process.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies provides Versimax in self-supported wire die blanks without carbide support rings. It is available in custom sizes and shapes and prepared to be customized to meet customer specifications. Hyperion provides simpler shapes, such as cylinders, rectangular, or triangular prisms, and complicated geometries, such as conical shapes, hollow cylinders, negative features, and more. Versimax can also be attached to tungsten carbide or steel by furnace brazing, and tools can be produced by press fitting, heat shrink fitting, adhesive bonding, or mechanical fixturing.

Versimax Applications

 

Hyperion's Versimax diamond composite material offers unique solutions for drawing and compacting applications for various ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Blanks can be used for drawing, bunching, compacting, stranding, extruding, and a variety of wear applications for different materials like low carbon steel, tire cords, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper. Versimax can also be used in other applications, such as high-pressure high-temperature tools for diamond synthesis, geothermal studies, and other forming processes.

 

Versimax Benefits

 

Versimax offers several advantages when used in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. It offers superior thermal stability compared to PCD die blanks. It provides a significantly reduced coefficient of thermal expansion and is electrically conductive, allowing flexibility in cutting various geometries. Versimax can be cut to the near-net-shape geometry, requiring minimal finishing processes. Its wear resistance is comparable to that of PCD, and its corrosion resistance is slightly better than that of PCD.
