What is a Shaving Die ?

SHAVING DIE

Many times after the extrusion metals and alloys , the outer surface contain many impurities.
To remove the impurities a shaving die is used to shave the impurities from the extruded rod.
Shaving die is also called as the scalping die.

A sharp edge is made on the shaving die . The material is then drawn from this shaving die. This process is carried out on a draw bench machine generally.
The impurities are shaved off by the die  This is a helpful process as the material now becomes more pure .

For example if the size of the wire is 10mm after extrusion , then the size of the shaving die should be around 9.90mm or 9.85mm.
