Versirion & Versimax Drawing Die_EN_HyperionMT

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Hyperion Materials & Technologies introduces the Versirion™ series, a composite material combining silicon carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) for enhanced wear properties and thermal stability. This material is produced using a high-pressure, high-temperature process.

Versirion™ and Versimax™ Characteristics
Both Versirion and Versimax offer superior wear resistance, high-temperature performance, and strength comparable to Co-sintered PCD, with added thermal stability. Versirion also provides excellent corrosion resistance.

Main Advantages

Superior thermal stability compared to PCD.
Reduced coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch.
Thermally stable up to 1400°C, reducing failure risks.
Electrically conductive, allowing EDM processability for flexible cutting.
Available in larger sizes than unsupported PCD.
No polishing required for wire surface finish.
Can be easily brazed or shrink-fitted into casings.
Suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous wires.
Wear resistance comparable to PCD and better corrosion resistance.

Main Applications

Bunching
Compacting
Drawing
Extrusion
Stranding
Wear applications

Wear Resistance Test Results
The document includes a graph showing normalized wear rates for different materials, indicating Versirion's superior performance.

Versirion™ and Versimax™ Blank Sizes
These wire die blanks are self-supported and customizable in size and shape. They can be attached to tungsten carbide or steel using various methods such as furnace brazing, press fitting, or adhesive bonding.

Product Offerings

Versirion™ (VRW5): Suitable for low carbon steel, tire cord, aluminum, and copper with high surface finish requirements. Fine grain size (average 5 μm).
Versirion™ (VRW10): Suitable for low carbon steel, coated steel, aluminum, and copper with lower surface finish requirements. Medium grain size (average 10 μm).
Versimax™: Suitable for bunching, stranding, wear applications, compacting, high pressure, and high temperature. Coarse grain size (average 20 μm).

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various die sizes, including diameter, thickness, parallelism, perpendicularity, and roundness, following ADDMA standards.
