Carbide FAQ

Carbide is a chemical compound composed of carbon and a metal or semi-metallic element. It is made by heating metal powders, usually tungsten, and carbon to a very high temperature. Carbide is hard, strong, and resistant to chemical attack and high temperatures. Tungsten carbide is often polished and finished with diamonds.

One of the major benefits of using tungsten carbide is its incredible durability. The material has an incredibly high melting point (around 5400 degrees Celsius) which means it is extremely resistant to heat and wears and tear. This makes it ideal for applications that require intense heat or wear resistance. Additionally, its hardness makes it able to withstand high levels of pressure without damage – making it great for extruding, end forming, rolling, and cutting.

Yes and no. Before it goes in the oven it is in a green state which is soft and can be turned or milled to preform close to the final shape required. Once its in the hard state is when it becomes difficult and that is where final dimensions are brought to size. Its a combination of using the correct diamond wheels and the correct bonding of those wheels along with high tech equipment and most of all many years of experience. Our employees are the most valuable part of that equation.

Ability to be made to a much higher RC value than steel (rockwell hardness) up to to 90 RC range which allows for a much more wear resistant material than steel that tops out at about 65 RC. (steel has a tendency to crack beyond this point) in turn money is saved with less down time making and replacing steel dies.

Carbide is stable. We grind parts with +/-.0002 tolerance. Steel will change  in size  much more than that with hot or cold temperatures. (Extrusions and end forming is done at molten or close to temperatures).

Carbide can be polished to a higher micro than steel which results in less slag or material stuck to the dies.Stuck material shows in drags or marks on the final part surface (less down time polishing).
