Using advanced ceramic materials, superior product design, and a top-notch service team, CoorsTek helps wire and cable manufacturers save money with longer-lasting, higher-performance wire production components.

Advanced Materials:

• Dura-Z™ Zirconia

• TTZ (Transformation Toughened Zirconia) ZrO2
  • Durable - High-fracture toughness allows TTZ to absorb the energy of impacts that would cause most other ceramic materials to shatter.
  • Smooth Surface Finish - The highly-polished surface finish (2-4 Ra) attainable with TTZ material significantly reduces the scratching and marring of wire, producing better wire surface quality and longer die life.
• AD-90 (Alumina Ceramic) 90% Al2O3 - Specifically formulated for wire drawing applications, this exceptionally fine-grained ceramic provides:
  • Exceptional hardness (harder than heat-treated tool steel)
  • Superior corrosion resistance
  • Lightweight (approximately 50% lighter than steel)
  • Lower cost

• Capstans
• Cones
• Guide Rolls
• Pulleys
• Specialty Guides and Rollers
• Wear Plates

• Quick-turn delivery
• Design engineering services
• Retrofitting specialists
• ReSurface Grinding Capabilities
• OEM replacement assistance
• In-house tooling
