Tungsten carbide, abbreviated as WC or TC, also called cemented carbide, is a composite of tungsten carbide particles and metal cobalt. Tungsten carbide is a non-oxidizing cemented carbide that retains a hardness similar to corundum or gemstone even at very high temperatures.
Advantages of Tungsten Carbide Dies And Molds • Sizes up to 76mm • cut costs • Even wear during use • Tungsten carbide cores can withstand temperatures up to 2870°C Application of Tungsten Carbide Components Tungsten carbide has been used as the core of Wire Drawing Dies for more than 100 years and is still widely used. Tungsten carbide and diamond are the only core materials used in the online die industry for nearly a hundred years. Until synthetic single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond were invented, the use of tungsten carbide and natural diamond was gradually reduced. Tungsten carbide molds are widely used in applications requiring high temperature resistance, impact resistance and only short-term use. The low price of tungsten carbide molds makes this possible. Because of its easy processing and low cost, tungsten carbide is also selected as the core material for most special-shaped molds. Typical applications of Tungsten Carbide Tooling • Steel wire • Stainless steel wire • Copper wire • Aluminum wire • Tungsten wire • Various other ferrous or non-ferrous metal wires
Feature Low-cost tungsten carbide molds for various wire processing processes are available. Tungsten carbide dies include wire Drawing Dies (round and shaped). At present, tungsten carbide molds are mainly used in some wire processing processes with high loss and high hardness. In these processes, the use of polycrystalline diamond molds cannot save a lot of cost. In some short-term experiments and small production volumes, tungsten carbide molds are often used. Wire Drawing Dies, Carbide Slot Die, Hole Punches Die, Punches Carbide Die. Tungsten carbide molds are available in a wide range of sizes from 0.127-76.2mm, larger sizes are available for pre-order
