Introduction

Carbide strips are flat and rectangular-shaped components made from tungsten carbide and a binder material. They are known for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and strength, making them well-suited for various industrial applications.

Carbide strips are commonly used in cutting tools, wear parts, and tooling dies where durability and performance are critical. They offer superior resistance to abrasion, high temperatures, and mechanical stress, allowing them to withstand demanding machining operations.

Composition and Structure

Carbide strips are primarily composed of tungsten carbide particles and a binder material, typically cobalt or nickel. The tungsten carbide particles provide the strips with exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and high strength, while the binder material acts as a matrix that holds the carbide particles together.

The specific composition and ratio of tungsten carbide to binder material can vary depending on the desired properties of the carbide strips and the intended application. Different grades and formulations are available to achieve specific hardness, toughness, and resistance to wear or corrosion.

Exceptional Hardness

Carbide strips exhibit outstanding hardness, providing excellent resistance to wear and abrasion in demanding applications.

Superior Wear Resistance

These strips offer exceptional wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance even in high-stress machining operations.

High Strength

Carbide strips possess high strength, allowing them to withstand heavy loads and extreme operating conditions without deformation.

Excellent Thermal Stability

These strips maintain their hardness and strength at elevated temperatures, enabling them to withstand high-speed machining without compromising performance.

Corrosion Resistance

Carbide strips are resistant to corrosion and oxidation, making them suitable for use in harsh and corrosive environments.

Dimensional Stability

These strips exhibit excellent dimensional stability, ensuring consistent performance and accuracy during machining operations.

Low Friction Coefficient

Carbide strips have a low friction coefficient, minimizing energy losses and reducing heat generation during machining.

Versatility

Carbide strips are versatile and find applications in cutting tools, wear parts, tooling dies, and industrial machinery components.

Raw Material Selection

High-quality tungsten carbide powder and a binder material, such as cobalt or nickel, are carefully selected based on the desired properties of the carbide strips.

Mixing

The tungsten carbide powder and binder material are mixed thoroughly to create a homogenous mixture. This ensures even distribution of the carbide particles within the binder matrix.

Compacting

The mixed powder is then compacted under high pressure using specialized equipment, such as a press, to form a green compact with the desired strip shape.

Pre-Sintering

The green compact is pre-sintered at a temperature below the final sintering temperature. Pre-sintering removes any organic binders and provides initial strength to the compacted material.

Sintering

The pre-sintered compact is placed in a high-temperature furnace and subjected to sintering. During sintering, the compact is heated to a specific temperature.

Shaping and Machining

After sintering, the carbide strips are shaped and machined to achieve the desired dimensions, surface finish, and tolerance. This may involve processes such as grinding, milling, or wire cutting.

Surface Treatment (Optional)

Depending on the application requirements, the carbide strips may undergo surface treatment such as coating or polishing to enhance specific properties like wear resistance or surface smoothness.

Quality Control

Throughout the manufacturing process, stringent quality control measures are implemented to ensure the carbide strips meet the required specifications.
