Customized Sizes Solid Tungsten Carbide Strips for Sale

Overview

Customized Sizes Solid Tungsten Carbide Strips are precision-engineered flat components designed to meet the exacting requirements of high-precision industries, offering tailor-made dimensions and mechanical properties for specialized applications. These strips are fabricated from premium tungsten carbide (WC-Co) composites, combining the material’s inherent advantages—extreme hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability—with the flexibility of custom manufacturing. Whether used as cutting edges, wear plates, or structural inserts, they deliver unmatched performance in applications where standard sizes fall short.

Manufactured through a combination of isostatic pressing, sintering, and precision grinding, each strip is crafted to tight tolerances (±0.001mm for thickness and width) and surface finishes (Ra ≤ 0.1μm). Available in cobalt contents from 3% to 20% and grain sizes from submicron to coarse, they can be optimized for specific tasks—from micro-cutting in electronics to heavy-duty forming in automotive manufacturing.

Features

Fully Customizable Dimensions: Thickness: 0.5mm–50mm; Width: 5mm–200mm; Length: 50mm–2,000mm. Non-standard shapes (tapered, grooved, stepped) are achievable via advanced machining.

Precision Surface Finish: Ground or lapped surfaces ensure parallelism and flatness within ±0.002mm/m, critical for applications requiring seamless integration into multi-component systems.

Tailored Mechanical Properties:

High Hardness Grades (3–6% Co): For precision cutting of hard plastics and non-ferrous metals.

Tough Grades (12–20% Co): For resisting chipping in interrupted cutting or forming operations.

Edge Geometry Options: Chamfered, radiused, or sharp edges can be custom-ground to optimize chip flow and reduce stress concentrations during use.

Applications

Medical Device Manufacturing: Precision strips for scalpel blades and orthopedic saws, providing ultra-sharp edges that minimize tissue trauma during surgery.

Electronics Industry: Cutting strips for semiconductor wafer dicing, maintaining dimensional accuracy within microns when processing brittle silicon materials.

Aerospace Fastener Production: Wear strips in cold heading machines, forming titanium alloy bolts with minimal tool wear and consistent thread quality.

Textile Machinery: Guide strips for high-speed looms, resisting abrasion from synthetic fibers and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operation.

FAQ

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for customized strips?

A: We accommodate orders as small as 10 pieces for standard grades, with no minimum for repeat orders. Custom grades or complex geometries may have higher minimums—contact our sales team for details.

Q: How long does the customization process take?

A: Design approval to delivery typically takes 4–6 weeks, including material selection, machining, and quality inspection. Rush orders with 2-week turnaround are available for urgent projects.

Q: Can these strips be coated for specific applications?

A: Yes, we offer PVD coatings (TiN, TiCN) and CVD coatings (diamond-like carbon) to enhance lubricity, corrosion resistance, or anti-adhesion properties for sticky materials like aluminum.

Q: What testing is performed on customized strips?

A: Each batch undergoes hardness testing (Vickers/HRA), dimensional inspection (CMM), and visual microscopy to ensure compliance with your specifications. Material traceability is guaranteed via mill certificates.
