WHY SHOULD THE LEADER IN TUNGSTEN CARBIDE POWDERS MAKE YOUR TOOLING?


Improving Productivity at the Metallurgical Level


Superior Grades


Since the beginning of time, people have challenged themselves to discover and develop better materials. At General Carbide, we help our customers leverage a wide range of quality carbide grades through R&D and engineering expertise. We use our knowledge and expertise to adjust hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, wear properties, high temperature performance and other properties to meet the stringent requirements of the most challenging applications.


Drew Elhassid Director of Metallurgical Services


Tight control over each metallurgical property is critical to the production of carbide tooling that stands above the rest.


tooling that stands above the rest. Those properties include average grain size, distribution of grain size, purity level, composition and concentration of alloying elements.

Quality


Our laboratory is equipped with the most modern, cutting-edge testing tools, leveraged by our experienced technical staff to test product at every stage of production, from raw material to fully processed powder to finished tooling ready for shipment. The control we bring to bear over each metallurgical property is critical to the production of carbide


Unique applications require customized testing and analysis. At General Carbide, we develop test methods specific to our out-of-the-box formulations that meet customers’ specialized needs.


Experiment with Us


Development of customized powders and quality tooling often begins with failure analysis. Whether the cause of deficient tooling is premature wear, cracking, corrosion or another factor, we have the expertise and equipment to pinpoint the cause and develop a better solution.
