How to Choose your Carbide Grade

As there is no international standard for categorizing tungsten carbide grades, tool makers need to rely on their knowledge and the expertise of the carbide blank manufacturer.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies´ knowledge about tungsten carbide has been gained through more than seven decades of R&D and partnerships with customers. We regularly develop and patent new cemented carbide grades that provide tool makers with improved performance. We leverage this knowledge to help you develop the perfect tool for your application.

To help our customers to find the grade optimized for their application, we categorized our grades into three grade series:

• High Performance Series
• Application Specific Series
• General Purpose Series
