Carbide blocks, also known as tungsten carbide blocks or carbide blanks, are semi-finished, solid blocks of tungsten carbide that serve as raw materials or pre-forms for a wide range of industrial applications. They are prized for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and compressive strength, providing a durable base for creating critical wear parts and tools.
Exceptional Hardness & Wear Resistance: As a bulk form of tungsten carbide, these blocks offer superior resistance to abrasion, making them ideal for applications involving constant friction and material flow.
High Compressive Strength: They can withstand immense pressure without deforming, a critical property for use in heavy machinery and tooling.
Good Structural Integrity: Manufactured through powder metallurgy, they provide a uniform and dense structure suitable for further machining.
Versatility in Post-Processing: While extremely hard, they can be ground, wire-cut (by EDM), or brazed into final components with specialized equipment.
Carbide blocks are produced using powder metallurgy techniques:
Pressing: Tungsten carbide powder is mixed with a cobalt (or nickel) binder and pressed into a block form using a mold.
Sintering: The "green" block is then heated in a vacuum furnace at a temperature below its melting point. This process causes the powder particles to bond together, resulting in a dense, solid mass.
Carbide blocks are rarely used as-is. They are most commonly machined into specific components or used as wear-resistant liners.
Wear Parts & Liners: Used in chutes, hoppers, pumps, and cyclones to line surfaces exposed to highly abrasive materials (e.g., sand, ore, coal).
Tooling & Dies: Machined into forming dies, stamping dies, and drawing dies for metalworking and wire production.
Anvils & Rolls: Used in high-pressure processes like diamond synthesis (HPHT anvils) or as rolls in rolling mills.
Pre-forms for Cutting Tools: Sintered blocks are cut and ground into indexable inserts, milling cutter blanks, and other custom tool geometries.
The following table summarizes the key features for a quick overview:
| Feature | Description | Advantage |

The CD Texture Cutter (Diamond Turning Tool) is a precision cutting tool made of high-quality diamond or cemented carbide substrate with diamond coating. It is mainly used to process uniform and high-gloss CD textures (concentric circular textures) on the surface of metal, composite materials and other workpieces. Widely applied in electronic equipment casings, decorative parts, precision mechanical components and other fields, it features high cutting precision, strong wear resistance and excellent processing surface quality.
Coal Picks, also known as miner picks, conical picks, or rock picks, are essential cutting tools used in the mining and tunneling industries. They are specifically designed to fracture and excavate materials like coal, soft rock, and other minerals by being mounted on rotating drums of continuous miners, roadheaders, and shearers. Their primary function is to act as the point of attack, transferring the machine’s power into concentrated impact and shear force to break the material.
Cemented carbide mushroom-shaped ball tooth is named for its mushroom-like shape. It is an efficient crushing tool component made of cemented carbide material. The head is round and thick, with excellent impact resistance and wear resistance. It is mainly used in crushers, impact drills, roadheaders and other equipment. Suitable for crushing hard materials such as rocks, ores and concrete, it has high crushing efficiency and long service life.
Carbide drill bits are high-performance cutting tools designed for drilling into hard, abrasive, or challenging materials. They are distinguished by their cutting edges or tips, which are made from tungsten carbide, a composite material known for its superior hardness and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel (HSS).
