YLJ-WD-6 Wire Drawing Machine for WAAM with Diamond Dies, 1.0 mm to 0.2 mm Diameter Range, 2.5 kW Motor
YLJ-WD-6 is designed to precisely reduce the diameter of metallic wire from 1.0 mm down to 0.2 mm, a critical preparation step for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) processes. This machine addresses the need for fine wire dimensions required in additive manufacturing workflows by employing a series of diamond drawing dies that ensure accuracy and surface finish quality.
The machine operates by pulling wire through progressively smaller diamond dies, which plastically deform the wire to the desired diameter. It includes two sets of 12-hole diamond die plates covering a comprehensive range of diameters: the first set from 1.0 mm to 0.375 mm and the second set from 0.35 mm down to 0.20 mm. The system features an integrated coolant spraying head to reduce heat and friction during drawing, and an automatic winding device to neatly collect the drawn wire, facilitating continuous operation.

Typical Applications
This wire drawing machine is ideal for preparing metallic wire feedstock for WAAM additive manufacturing, especially for metals with hardness below 50 HRC. It supports precision wire size reduction necessary for consistent arc welding deposition processes.
Configuration & Operating Notes
- Diamond dies are consumable components and may require periodic replacement depending on usage.
- Customization of diamond die hole sizes is available to meet specific wire drawing requirements.
- Materials with hardness greater than 50 HRC should not be drawn using this machine.
- For some metals, annealing after each drawing pass may be necessary to prevent work hardening and maintain ductility.
