Tungsten Carbide Drawing Dies

Tungsten carbide drawing dies for high-quality carbide core, with high hardness, good thermal conductivity, low coefficient of friction. Carbide drawing dies making simple, corrosion, impact resistance, low price is a significant feature of this product is suitable for ferrous metals, large size wire drawing, and drawing disadvantaged occasions.

Tungsten carbide drawing die die blanks, core processing and loading process mold inserts sets of points should be noted; mainly manufactured in four steps:
1.A blank mold processing
2.Installed inlay interference
3.Drawing die die sets processing
4.Replace the inlay craft.

Tungsten carbide drawing dies cores during sintering shrinkage will produce different batches because ingredients, pressing and sintering processes are different, there are large differences in the amount of shrinkage; die blanks all parts vary the amount of shrinkage, often form a "saddle" or "bell" shape. Dimensions fluctuations die blanks, although in line with standard die blanks, but far more than the mold inserts suit the requirements of interference caused when loading inserts core prestressed bear serious inequality, mold life greatly reduced, and therefore, must die blanks were cylindrical grinding, grinding machine using a special need in the fixtures, diamond grinding wheel.

What is Tungsten Carbide Blank

Tungsten carbide blank is a kind of solid tungsten carbide. They are made of grains of tungsten and carbon held together in a matrix of metal such as cobalt or nickel. There are many different grades of tungsten carbide. Refer to our carbide and advanced material section for more articles on carbide.

Tungsten carbide blank material can be called a powdered metal because tungsten is a metal. It is also classified as a ceramic. Ceramics are often defined as a class of materials that are not anything else. It can actually make the most sense to think of tungsten carbide as a ceramic when you are using it and a powdered metal when you make it.

Tungsten and most metals arrange themselves in a lattice which is like a 3 D version of a chain link fence. Under great heat and pressure the carbon atoms are actually packed inside the tungsten atoms instead of being joined side by side as with ordinary compounds.

Tungsten carbide blanks are very common material on any sort of cutting tool: For example, saw blades, lathe bits, drill bits, router bits and dental drilling tips are generally made of carbide. Carbide is so popular in these sorts of tools because it stays sharper longer than most other materials. Additionally, some ball-point pens use carbide balls because it helps the pen last longer.

With something like a carbide blanks, the main body of the blade is made of steel. The small tips of carbide are brazed on to the body. A good carbide tip might hold an edge ten to twenty times longer than a tool steel tip.
