Application Specific Carbide Rods
Application specific carbide rods are special tungsten carbide rod blanks engineered for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools that will be used to machine in specific challenging conditions. Hyperion’s application specific carbide rod grades help toolmakers create drills, reamers and endmills that achieve reliability, consistency and high-quality results while machining high-hardness metal, titanium, corrosion-and heat-resistant steel, or in applications where a diamond coated tool is required.
Application specific carbide rods grades support toolmakers to design round tools that set them apart in challenging customer applications. Hyperion’s application specific carbide grades support your goals by providing a blank that:
-
Is resistant to breaking and chipping in extreme heat conditions
-
Improves coating efficiency in tooling that uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond coating
-
Improves machining in titanium and stainless-steel materials applications, where corner chipping is a risk
-
Increases machining productivity when working hardened steel (> HRC60) for mold and die applications
