Diamond dies Tien Chen was established in 1990, dedicated to research, development and manufacture of a variety of diamond die products. Tien Chen specialises in diamond dies for drawing any type of wires. Professional sintering techniques firmly bind the diamond ore, giving the dies the highest degree of protection against wear and collision. Tien Chen diamond dies are proven for drawing hard metallic wires, such as steel and stainless steel. Tien Chen can fulfil customers’ varied requirements for die quality. Natural diamond dies and mono dies are the best choice for drawing fine wires, golden wires, alloy wires and wires which need a delicate and bright surface. Synthetic diamond dies are used for tube and wires; their durability and hardness offer the best choice for the special requests of die hold. TC dies are sintered with high pressure and low temperature to effectively strengthen the surface of the die blanks with metal powder, above 52 HRC, to form a protective layer to enhance the durability. TC can provide shaped dies, such as hexagonal, square, and round dies. The production range for round dies is from 0.03mm to 34mm diameter.
