Aerospace manufacturing pushes materials to their limits, demanding reliability, precision, and strength under demanding operating environments. Engineers rely on tungsten carbide to meet these requirements during the production process. With hardness second only to diamond, tungsten carbide provides the durability needed to manufacture components that maintain accuracy, consistency, and performance throughout their service life. Tungsten…
The Benefits of Solid Carbide for Machine Tooling
Machine tooling comes in many types and configurations including fixtures, jigs, and cutting or material removal tools. They are all subject to wear over time, and cutting tools in particular can become dull and out of tolerance after many cycles. This is especially the case in high-volume production and when hard materials are being cut…
Production Process of Carbide Grades
Carbide grades are crucial in machining, directly influencing tool performance, efficiency, and longevity across various manufacturing industries. Selecting the correct grade for a given application means choosing a grade with an optimal balance of hardness and toughness. As machining technologies advance, understanding the production process, composition, and classifications of carbide grades becomes increasingly crucial for…
