Tungsten Carbide Button

As its unique working performance, carbide buttons are widely applied to oil filed drilling and snow removal, snow plough machines or equipments.
Carbide buttons are used in the coal cutter drilling tools, mine machinery tools and road maintenance tools for snow clearing and road cleaning. Carbide mining button bits are widely applied for rock tools, mining tools for use in quarrying, mining, tunneling, and civil constructions.

Types of Tungsten Carbide Buttons
According to the different oil-field drilling machinery such as roller cone bits, DTH bits, geotechnical drilling tools, drifter bits, button is divided into different standard styles : P type flat-top bits, Z type coinspherical bits, X type wedge bits.

Tungsten carbide balls

The application of tungsten carbide ball
The application of tungsten carbide balls are extremely broad, such as: precise bearings, instruments, meters, Pen, spraying machines, pumps, machinery parts, valve seals, brake pump, extruding hole, oil, hydrochloric acid lab, hardness measuring instrument, fishing gear, with heavy, ornamented, finished, and some other high-end industry!

Heading a ball

flashing

To remove the "ring" around the ball, the slugs are then flashed. This flashing gives the ball a rough finish

Heat treating

After flashing, the rough balls are then heat treated. This high temperature process hardens the ball.

Grinding

After the ball is heat treated, the ball is then ground to the approximate diameter of the finished ball.

Lapping

After the ball is ground to approximate size, the ball is then lapped. This lapping process polishes the ball to the exact size required. This gives the ball a shinny finish.

Tungsten Carbide Drill

Productivity or cost-per-hole is the biggest trend affecting drilling today. This means drilling-tool and tungsten carbide drill bit manufacturers must find ways to combine some operations and also develop tools that can cope with higher feeds and speeds.

A carbide drill bit can be swapped out easily and accurately and customers can use a single drill body with multiple carbide drill bits to drill several different hole sizes. In addition, it eliminates the cost of backups needed when regrinding brazed or solid-carbide drills.Instead of replacing the whole drill body, end users only have to purchase a carbide drill bit, which costs about the same as regrinding a brazed or solid-carbide drill.

The advantages of tungsten carbide drill
Tungsten carbide drill (hollow drill, core drilling)

1. To drill for more complex materials, you can choose a higher cutting speed.
2. Selected special high-performance alloy steel drill bit blade, effectively reduce the avalanche knife, good wear resistance.
3. Multi-terminal geometry cutting edge, improve drainage performance, to keep small cutting resistance.

Tungsten Carbide Rod

Tungsten carbide rods are mostly applied for drill bits, end mills, and reamers with sub-micron grain grade YG10X, for non-ferrous precision cutting and wood cutting with grade YG6X, and for fiberglass reinforced plastics, titanium alloys, hardened steel with ultra-fine grain grade YG8X, etc.

The tungsten carbide rods CHINATUNGSTEN ONLINE can manufacture and supply are varied in different sizes as well as tungsten carbide grades.Following is a detailed description of one kind specification of tungsten cabride rod:

Specificaiton: Diameter:1.5 mm x 330mm
Surface Condition: Sintered blank
Chemical Composition: WC :88.5% + Co: 10% + Others: 1.5%
Density: 14.2~14.6 g/cm3
Hardness: HRA91.5 min.
T.R.S.: 3200N/mm2 min.

Indexable Inserts

What is Indexable Inserts?
A cutting bit that has multiple cutting edges. Once a cutting edge is excessively worn, it can be indexed to another edge, or the insert can be replaced.

The development of indexable insert has not only promoted the technology of cutting tools, but also the developemtn of cutting tools manufacturing technology.

Advantage of Indexable Inserts
By comparison with welding blade, the advance of indexable inserts are significantly reflected as follows:

high working efficiency;
could be re-usable, which save additional cost;
long service life;
excellent accuracy of positioning.

Installing Indexable Inserts
When changing the inserts, it is important to clean the insert, insert shim, insert barrel and every interfaces. There should not be any other chips or scraps.
