Tungsten Carbide Blades

Tungsten Carbide blades are known for being sharp and durable. They are wear-resistant, and can be used in a variety of industrial applications where extremely sharp cutting instruments are needed. For example, tungsten carbide blades are well suited to cutting reflective materials for plotting and sign making. Although prone to chipping and breakage, when these pitfalls are avoided with the proper engineering, tungsten carbide blades can sustain significant industrial stresses. Tungsten carbide blades are less brittle than blades made of other metals, and thus can withstand the rigors of constant use easily.

Tungsten Carbide Drawing Dies

Tungsten carbide drawing dies are widely used for its well toughness, wear resistance and durable features. Also, its superior strength is also an important factors in the usage of tungsten carbide drawing dies. Tungsten carbide drawing dies and punching dies, well supported and properly aligned, are satisfactory for blanking and punching. Good ferrous and non-ferrous wire is drawn through a series tungsten carbide drawing dies in a process of elongating and reducing the wire's diameter.

Tungsten Carbide Drill Bits

Tungsten carbide drill bits are typically made of tungsten carbide that is nickel based with a carbon coating. This type of tungsten carbide drill bit has many applications, such as drilling into stone, metal and removing screws that will not come out of metal. Standard tungsten carbide drill bits are not that strong and are made of a lesser quality material that can bend or break when drilling into hard materials. You can use a tungsten carbide drill bit by first finding a drill bit to use with your current drill.

Tungsten Carbide Tips

Like tools of tungsten carbide saw blades, its main body is made from Steel. Tungsten carbide tips is brazed on the saw blades. Fine-quality tungsten carbide tips is excellent wear-resistant, its useful time can up to 20 times than Steel tips. Tungsten carbide tips has turned in the last, but you can re-grind them just like you grind steel tools. Tungsten carbide tips is harder, so grinding tools is different. Normally, we use diamond tools or tungsten carbide grinding wheels. Most of the whole tools are not made from carbide, because carbide's price is very expensive and it is very brittle. So, steel is better materials which are used for making main body, it is more stronger, not easy to crack and broken.

Tungsten Carbide Coated Tools

In earlier time, people usually did mining primarily with pick axes and shovels, which relied on pure manpower to get the job done. And later, with tools made of steel, because steel tools could do better job, and they were susceptible to wear. However, with the development of tungsten carbide industry, tungsten carbide products are widely used in mining work, especially tungsten carbide coated tools.

The mining industry has one of the highest demands for tools that have high wear-resistant, just like tungsten carbide coated tools, as working in a mine involves cutting through hard rock, often spanning several miles. Having tungsten carbide coated tools that are resistant to wear means the company doesn't have to replace their tools often, preventing money lost due to down times. Thus, there is a need for tungsten carbide coated tools that do not wear out easily, ensuring continued productivity for longer periods of time.

Tungsten Carbide Ball

Firstly, we mix tungsten carbide powder and powdered cobalt to form a uniform combination. During the mixing, we added a polymer or wax which acts as a mechanical binder in the pre-sintered stage. A carefully measured volume of this combined powder is compressed by a double acting press to form the tungsten carbide ball blank. The binder is removed by placing the preformed parts in a vacuum chamber and raising the temperature. The binder out gasses and is trapped down stream as a liquid. Secondly, the combined tungsten carbide and cobalt pre-forms are sintered or fused into a solid mass by heating them to a high temperature in a vacuum or hydrogen atmosphere furnace. Some tungsten carbide ball sizes are Hot Isocratic Pressed or hipped. The newest procedure is to Sinter-HIP the parts in a single operation. The metallurgically complete tungsten carbide ball blanks are then rough ground with course diamond to remove all imperfections from the surface. Using micro size diamond dust, they are then finished lapped and polished to final size and microinch roundness with a sub-microinch surface finish, thus got the tungsten carbide balls.

Tungsten Carbide Wear Parts

tungsten carbide wear parts tools are used to prevent premature wear in numerous industrial sectors, including mineral processing, surface and sand blasting technology, roof tiling, agriculture, pump and valve parts for the oil and gas industry, the textile and paper industry, and the machine building industry. The wear resistance property of tungsten carbide wear parts can lead to extended die life while achieving desired quality of material drawn such as surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Tungsten Carbide Circular Saw Blades

Tungsten carbide circular saw blades are surrounded by sharp, tungsten carbide-tipped teeth can be found in factories for manufacturing, carpenters' tool kits for milling. These tungsten carbide circular saw blades are sized to fit not only in industrial machinery but also in standard table saws and hand-held circular saws. The most common tungsten carbide circular saw blades are not solid tungsten carbide, only the cutting edges of the teeth are coated with tungsten carbide. A variation of the toothed saw blade is the grinding "wheel" or abrasive blade---still circular but without teeth. Their edge is coated with tungsten carbide and used to exert abrasive force as they grind through stone, ceramics and metal.

Sintered Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools

Sintered tungsten carbide is another saying of tungsten carbide, or called cemented carbide, hardmetal or tungsten-carbide cobalt. Sintered tungsten carbide cutting tools shows high performance such as abrasion resistant and they can also withstand higher temperatures than many other high speed steel tools, even in high temperature environment, they still behaves great. Sintered tungsten carbide cutting tools maintain a sharp cutting edge better than others, therefore, the cutting surfaces are often used for machining through materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel, or in situations where these steel tools would wear away. Carbide cutting tools machine fast for the allowance of their temperature resistance.

Tungsten Carbide Uses

Tungsten carbide often used as cutting tools for drilling, mining and construction. These are undoubtedly the biggest markets for tungsten carbide, accounting for around 60 percent of its use. The use of this material in jewelry is becoming popular. Everything from rings to necklaces can be fashioned out of tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide is also used on the tips of trekking poles and as spikes on snowmobile equipment. It is also used in ball point pens to align the roller ball with ink. Filaments from light bulbs are made out of tungsten because of its resistance to heat.

Tungsten Carbide

The compounds of tungsten carbide are mostly tungsten carbide powder, with cobalt or nickel, etc as the binder and hydrogen presented. The temperature for making the compound requires ranging from 2,550 to 2,900 degrees F. Generally speaking, mixing tungsten carbide powder with cobalt makes tungsten carbide more hard. The mixed compounds are then heated to 2,550 to 2,900 degrees F. At the moment, tungsten carbide is melted or cemented partially. Thus we can put it into different shapes and dimensions with various mold.

Tungsten Carbide Manufacturing

Yesterday, I got the opportunity of visiting the tungsten carbide factory to view the whole tungsten carbide manufacturing process, including how tungsten carbide mixture are made, what exactly the various drawing dies look like and how those tungsten carbide rod were extruded. For me, the above all sounds abstract to me before yesterday, but now, not any more. This visit can be definitely called my first practical lesson introducing me to real tungsten carbide world.
