Description
Why use Tungsten Carbide Dies?
Answer is about the hardness.
Tungsten carbide is almost three times harder compared with steel
and it is of high density than titanium. What this means for
companies who use dies is that a tungsten carbide die have a
superior wear resistance when compared to dies made out of other
materials. When dies last longer that is equal to a reduced cost of
money in not having the cost of replacing them and in reduced
downtime for machinery waiting for new dies to be installed.
Tungsten carbide has a hardness between 85HRA and 92HRA. Diamond
has a hardness rating of 10, however, diamonds aren’t as versatile
and are obviously a very expensive die material. In particular, it
has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk
material. Those properties determine the major industrial
applications of diamond in cutting and polishing tools.
The tungsten carbide used for die making comes in a wide variety of
grades; these different grades have different properties and
therefore different applications. The amount of tungsten compared
to the amount of carbon in these grades is what makes this
difference. By adjusting the tungsten to carbon ratio, dies with
better wear properties or greater resistance to impact can be
manufactured.
In the end, superior hardness combined with the versatility of
tungsten carbide result in its widely usage in many industrial
applications. Products produced using tungsten carbide dies include
tubing, nails and nuts. Actually, a list of these products would be
very, very long, and that’s where the versatility part of the
equation comes in to play.
