Abstract

A composite diamond wire die for drawing wire has a single crystal or HTHP diamond substrate and a CVD layer or layers deposited thereon. A wire die bore extends through the substrate and between the CVD layers, with a wire bearing surface being located completely within the substrate. The CVD layers may be deposited so as to develop tensile stress therein, so as to place the substrate in compression.
