(VNT) NANO VITRIFIED NANOCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND COMPOSITE 
TECHNOLOGY FOR DRAWING & COMPACTING - SOFT & HARD METAL
Ajex  &  Turner  have  come  up  with  the  new  revolutionary  Vitrified  Nanocrystalline  Technology  which  has  completely  changed  the 
traditional  way  of  wire  drawing.  The  Prospects  of  Vitrified  Nanotechnology  will  definitely  put  huge  impact  in  near  future  and  will 
save material and manufacturing costs for cable companies around the globe. Our R & D team has developed state of the art diamond 
coated dies called as VNT Nano. Same VNT nano die can be used for compacting Copper and Aluminium if there is slight difference in 
the profile not extreme for stranding 50mm to 2000sqmm for energy saving. Customers who use VNT Nano-Dies for drawing Aluminium 
and Alloys report excellent results in which the material strength is enhanced and in many cases the electrical resistance is reduced.
Now our company have developed sector shape & other shape dies in VNT nano crystalline diamond. The Trapezoidal & other shape dies 
are very much successful as diamond surface is very hard comparing to carbide & PCD.

 (VNT) VITRIFIED NANOCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND COMPOSITE 
TECHNOLOGY FOR DRAWING & COMPACTING - SOFT & HARD METAL 

Uses and Advantages of VNT Nano Dies Tube & Wire Drawing & Compacting
1. To draw copper -Aluminium for Stranding / Compacting / Rod Break Down Sizes / Sector Shape etc.
2. To draw Aluminium Alloy wire / Nickel Silver wire / Brass / Copper Tubes or any metal.
3. To draw stainless steel / high and low carbon steel wire up to 0.6%C, welding wire 
    or any hard / soft wire of any size & hardness.
4. Lower friction -Better Copper and Aluminium utilization.
5. Better surface quality -high and bright surface finish.
6. Die range: 0.800 to 100mm possible.
7. Improvement of 2-3% in raw material utilization & 
    better life than PCD and Tungsten Carbide.
8. 0% tolerance for entire working life for any metal.
9. No die polishing/ recutting required for any metal.
10. The die will run for Aluminium, Copper Compacting 
      approx 10000-12000 cable km, (If proper parameters are 
      maintained. The production ratio also depends on 
      metal to metal through Nano Dies).
11. For Aluminium / Copper RBD process, Nano dies are better for continuous
      process with no metal loss & tolerance breakage or scratch on wire.  
12. The prices are 10% to 50% lower than PCD dies (depends on bore diameter). 
13. Casing - stainless steel grade 304 to avoid rust.

Why NANO is better than TC & PCD for Drawing and Compacting
14. FOR TC - While using Tungsten Carbide Die for soft or hard material, there are chances of dust 
      accumulation in the die and wire breakage and scratches on the conductor.
15. FOR PCD - While using Polycrystalline diamond die for soft and hard wire 
     drawing purpose above mentioned problems can be 
     rectified, diameter can be controlled but variation is 
     possible after a due course of time, but Nano maintains 
     0% tolerance throughout its working life, thus there is 
     no need for re-polishing & re-grinding, moreover Nano 
     is economical in price than PCD & production is equivalent.
     Low Power Consumption & Saving of Metal 2-3%
Low Friction
A smooth surface provides potential for low friction. This is extremely important when the surface finish of your 
product needs to be perfect. It is also of tremendous importance in certain applications such as cable compacting 
& stranding, where friction causes damage which increases electrical resistance. More damage means more Copper 
or Aluminium is required to meet the electrical resistance standards for the cable being manufactured. Using Nano-
Dies  can  save  a  cable  manufacturer  millions  of  dollars  worth  of  Copper  and  Aluminium  every  year.  
    Price / Performance
A traditional diamond or PCD die uses a solid mass of fiamond at its core.
So the price increases, on average, eight times for every doubling of bore 
diameter. The Nano-Die’s diamond surface is manufactured in a chemical 
vapor  deposition  (CVD)  Process,  as  part  of  process  of  making  the  die. 
This  leads  to  tremendous  economies.  A  Nano-Die  costs  rougnly  3-6  time 
less  than  a  PCD  die  of  the  same  diameter.  But  Nano-Dies  are  available 
upto Ø60mm (>2.3 inches), far exceeding the maximum possible diameter 
for PCD die.
