The tungsten solid carbide rods are press molded by precision molding or extrusion methods.
Sintered by a low-pressure sintering integrated furnace, ensuring consistently high overall performance and structural density.
Rough tungsten-cobalt carbide round bars can be refined and polished to custom tolerances (e.g., h5, h6, -0.005), including carbide rod end chamfer processing.
Suitable for processing general steel, cast iron, stainless steel, heat resistant steel, nickel base, and titanium alloy. Recommended for twist drills, end mills, taps, and gun drills.

The tolerance of the long rods is h5/h6 or according to customer requirements in diameter, and 0.00~+5.00mm in length as standard.
The tolerance of the ground cut-to-length rods is h5/h6 or according to customer requirements in diameter, and 0.00~+2.00mm in length as standard.
