Tungsten Carbide Round Bars
Tungsten carbide rods play a vital role in creating top-notch carbide cutting tools for machining heat-resistant alloys and Ti alloys, such as end mills, drills, and reamers. Our selection includes carbide rods with h6 ground, Tungsten Alloy Rods with a chamfered end, sintered solid Tungsten Carbide Rod Blanks, and Tungsten Rod Stock with a straight hole.
Tungsten carbide rods find application in the production of various tools such as drill bits, end mills, reamers, automobile specialized cutters, printed circuit boards specialized cutters, engine specialized cutters, horology processing specialized cutters, integral vertical milling cutters, and gravers. Additionally, they are utilized for making cemented carbide stamping heads, core bars, and perforation tools. We offer both sintered blanks and ground tungsten carbide welding rods.
Key Features:
