High Hardness Carbide Mold Customized Tungsten Carbide Forming Tools

The cemented carbide mold forming tools are mainly made of carbide with low cobalt content. The main raw material is 99.95% tungsten carbide and a small amount of cobalt---named tungsten-cobalt alloy. Carbide wire drawing die has good wear resistance, impact resistance, polishing and corrosion resistance, easy to repair, and low price. It is commonly used as wire drawing core material, widely used for the rough and medium drawing die. By improving the composition and structure of the cemented carbide, controlling the fluctuation of the carbon content, and refining the particles of the carbide, thus can improve the performance of the material and prolong the service life.

In metal pressing processing, the metal is forced to pass through die under the external force. Therefore, the metal cross-sectional area is compressed, and the cross-sectional area shaped is wire drawing die. Drawing die is a very important consumable mold for drawing wire rods of various metal wire manufacturers (such as wire and cable factories, steel wire factories, welding wire and wire factories, etc.). Since the cost of the wire drawing die accounts for more than l/2 of the wire drawing cost, how to reduce the cost of the wire drawing die and improve its life is a problem that the manufacturer urgently needs to solve.

Advantages:

As the industrial tooth, cemented carbide is an effective wear-resistant tool in the manufacturing industry. As a cemented carbide processing and production manufacturer, relying on the cemented carbide production technology and complete industry chain in Zhuzhou, we provide hard alloy mold parts and tungsten carbide large-sized cavities for customers, also can provide non-standard shaped carbide wear-resistant parts. Based on customer's drawing requirements, we use high-quality materials to satisfy customers' demands. Especially, high-precision fine-grained mold products are our processing strengths. From raw material selection to finished carbide mold parts, we strictly control every process of production.

The Astonishing Applications of Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide is a material widely used in many settings due to its incredible hardness and durability. Its many uses span across a variety of settings, such as cutting tools, wear parts, dies and molds, orthopedic implants, drill bits, wind turbine components, exploration equipment, abrasives, and even the jewelry industry.
Cutting Tools
Tungsten carbide is used to create hardened tips and cutting edges for a number of drills, end mills, taps, reamers, and other types of tooling used to perform material-removing processes.
Wear Parts
Items like bulldozer blades, excavator teeth, conveyor skip plates, and chute liners require excellent wear-resistance and tungsten carbide provides just that.
Dies and Molds
Forming and stamping dies used in shaping metals and plastics require a material that can withstand repeated use and high pressure. Tungsten carbide fits this criteria.
Orthopedic Implants
Biocompatibility and mechanical strength are just two of the main requirements that tungsten carbide meets when used in joint replacement components, like knee and hip prosthetics.
Drill Bits
Drilling operations in oil and gas fields need drill bits that are durable and can efficiently drill through hard rock underwater. This is why tungsten carbide is the material of choice for these applications.
Wind Turbine Components
Durability is key in the wind turbine industry and it is no surprise that tungsten carbide is used in its gear systems and blade pitch mechanisms in order to keep wear surfaces protected.
Exploration Equipment
Coring bits, underreamers and industrial core drills are all commonly used in exploration equipment and have tungsten carbide as a key component due to its hardness.
Abrasives
Tungsten carbide is processed into particles and grains that are sometimes used as coated and bonded abrasives for polishing and grinding applications.
Jewelry Industry
Finally, tungsten carbide is also used in the jewelry industry, applied in decorative components for rings, cufflinks, and pendants due to its density and color properties.
