Tungsten carbide is produced from carbrised tungsten powder and cobalt. Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest known materials, but it is also brittle. Combining it with soft cobalt produces a material which is very hard and resistant to wear and which can withstand extreme impact loads.
Top quality
We use only first rate raw materials in order to guarantee the best sintering ability. We purchase most of our tungsten carbide powder and cobalt from Europe. These expensive, but high-quality materials form the basis for the top-class quality of our tools.
Comprehensive
The composition of the tungsten carbide is always tailored to the application. This ensures the necessary toughness with good resistance to wear.
The right mixture
Raw materials are blended and wet milled based on the desired carbide quality. Free-flowing carbide powder is produced within the hot gas stream of the spraying tower.
Monitored pressing
When carbide powder is pressed into forms – producing so-called green bodies – it achieves approx. 50% of its final density.
HIP Sintering
Sintering in Sinter-HIP systems provides the carbide with its outstanding qualities. Precise process management, which requires specialist knowledge and lots of experience, determines the quality of the carbide.
