What Makes Tungsten Carbide Rods the First Choice for Precision Machining

Tungsten carbide rods are essential components in high-precision cutting and wear-resistant tools. With their exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and durability, they serve as the backbone of industries such as metalworking, mining, automotive, and aerospace.

Extreme Hardness and Wear Resistance

Tungsten carbide rods offer:

• Rockwell hardness up to HRA 91–93

• Excellent resistance to abrasion, deformation, and impact

• Long service life in high-speed, high-friction environments

These properties enable high cutting speeds and improved tool longevity in precision machining.

Superior Thermal and Chemical Stability

Made by powder metallurgy under strict sintering controls, the rods exhibit:

• High-temperature resistance up to 1000°C without performance degradation

• Strong corrosion resistance against coolants and lubricants

• Thermal shock resistance for uninterrupted performance in demanding conditions

Versatility in Industrial Applications

Tungsten carbide rods are widely used to produce:

• End mills, drills, reamers, and cutting inserts

• Tooling for CNC machining and high-speed steel processing

• Wear parts in pumps, valves, and oil drilling tools

They can also be customized into solid or coolant-through types for optimized chip removal and cooling.

Product Features

• Uniform grain structure for consistent mechanical performance

• Available in various grades (e.g., K10, K20, K30) for tailored applications

• Polished or ground surfaces for high dimensional accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What sizes are available?
A1: Standard diameters range from 1 mm to 30 mm, with lengths up to 330 mm. Custom sizes can be provided on request.

Q2: Can the rods be used for composite or non-metal cutting?
A2: Yes, different grades are optimized for aluminum, wood, plastics, and other non-ferrous materials.

Q3: What’s the difference between solid and coolant-through rods?
A3: Coolant-through rods have internal holes that allow better heat dissipation during high-speed machining, improving tool life and surface finish.
