Carbide Molds: The "Industrial Teeth" of Precision Manufacturing ——Ultra-Wear-Resistant, Long-Lasting Core Tools for Industrial Production
Time: 2025-04-16 Hit: 12
In the precision machining field of modern manufacturing, carbide molds
function like "industrial teeth," becoming indispensable core tools in high-end
manufacturing sectors such as automotive production, 3C electronics, and medical
devices due to their extraordinary hardness, exceptional wear resistance, and
extended service life. Xingzhou will provide you with a
comprehensive analysis of the outstanding characteristics, wide applications,
and professional selection guidelines for carbide molds.
I. Outstanding Characteristics of Carbide Molds
1、Extraordinary Physical Properties
Remarkable Hardness: HRA 90-94, second only to diamond, 2-3 times harder than high-speed steel
Wear Resistance & Durability: Service life 10-20 times longer than ordinary steel molds, significantly reducing replacement frequency
High-Temperature Resistance: Maintains stable performance in high-temperature environments of 800-1000°C
Dimensional Stability: Thermal expansion coefficient only 1/3 that of steel molds, with machining accuracy up to ±0.001mm
2、Advanced Material Technology
Base Material: Uses high-purity tungsten carbide (WC) with 85-95% content
Binder Phase: Precisely formulated cobalt (Co) content of 5-15% to optimize toughness-hardness balance
Surface Treatment: Optional TiN, TiCN, TiAlN coatings, reducing friction coefficient by 50%
II. Typical Application Fields of Carbide Molds
| Industry Sector | Typical Applications | Performance Requirements | Solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automotive Manufacturing | Engine component stamping Transmission gear forming | High wear resistance High precision | YG15 material Mirror polishing |
| 3C Electronics | Mobile phone metal casing
stamping Connector precision forming | High surface finish Micron-level precision | Ultra-fine grain Nano coating |
| Medical Devices | Surgical instrument forming Dental implant processing | Biocompatibility Contamination-free | Medical-grade material Special surface treatment |
