Tungsten carbide products
Tungsten carbide is a material used for a number of industrial applications and it is characterised by its high strength, toughness and hardness. Its name derives from the Swedish for tung (heavy) and sten (stone) and it is mainly used in the form of cemented tungsten carbides. Cemented carbides (also known as hardmetals) are made by 'cementing' grains of tungsten carbide into a binder matrix of cobalt or/and nickel.
Tungsten carbide as a material can vary in carbide grain size (0.2 – 50 microns) and by binder contents (up to 30%), as well as by the addition of other carbides. By varying the grain size of the tungsten carbide and the binder content in the matrix, engineers have access to a class of materials whose properties can be tailored to a variety of engineering applications. This includes high-tech tools, wear parts and tools for the construction, mining and oil and gas sector.
As a company, we are focused on building business partnerships as our greatest strength is in developing customised solutions that create long-term advantages for our partners.
Our extensive tungsten carbide product range includes the following:
Inserts
Our tungsten carbide inserts are used in the mining, construction, tunnelling, oil and gas, forestry and agriculture industries. For more information, please contact us.
Wear parts tools
Our tungsten carbide wear parts tools are used to prevent premature wear in numerous industrial sectors, including mineral processing, surface and sand blasting technology, roof tiling, agriculture, pump and valve parts for the oil and gas industry, the textile and paper industry, and the machine building industry.
Mill rolls
Our tungsten carbide mill rolls are used to offer high wear resistance and toughness, and are manufactured to our customer’s needs. For more information, please contact us.
Drill bits
We offer high performance tungsten carbide drill bits for the mining, tunnelling and construction industries. For more information, please contact us.
PCD drill bits
In applications where drill bit life is dominated by abrasive wear PCD bits perform in an order of magnitude compared to the lifetime achieved by tungsten carbide bits. PCD drill bits are particularly suited for abrasive rock conditions where tool life, high penetration rates and consistent drilled hole quality are important.
Recycling tools
Tungsten carbide tipped cutters and cutting inserts for the recycling industry offer between six to ten times better life against conventional steel cutters, ensuring less downtime and less cost per tonne.
Special tools
We are one of the leading producers of tools for special applications, many of them created to meet our customers' individual requirements. Our special tools such as weld-on bars, weld-on cutting teeth and flat picks can be used for a number of common application areas.
Powder
Ready to press powder grades are used for tungsten carbide production. We offer a huge variety of powder grades available through varying grain sizes and different binder contents. For more information, please contact us.
Drilling systems and drill
Our drilling systems and drill rods are typically used for the drilling of blasting relief holes, large hole drilling and roof bolting. Our drilling system has reamers fitted with three symmetrically arranged carbide tips, mainly for use in medium to hard rock formations. For more information, please contact us.
