What does the ADDMA have to do with wire dies?
ADDMA 8911 refers to the original standards published by the American Diamond Die Manufacturers Association. These standards were established during the early adoption of PCD for use in wire drawing dies to ensure that dies labeled using the D- designation are consistent in size. The standards define the minimum dimensions allowed for each D- designation used on the PCD inserts. Currently, the majority of PCD inserts used in wire dies exceed these dimensions.
