Materials for Automotive
Our cemented carbide has great dimensional stability due to a high Young's modulus and compressive strength while featuring a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
The characteristics of cemented carbide make it a viable alternative to steel, especially in electric vehicles. Our cemented carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) wire dies are industry leading for drawing radial tire steel cords.
Hyperion's Barcelona facility has IATF 16949:2016 certification for manufacturing cemented carbide components.
Hyperion provides engineering expertise and manufactures other hard and super-hard materials used to produce automotive components, including cubic boron nitride (CBN) and diamonds.
