Tungsten Carbide balls are manufactured in two standard material grades of C-1 and C-2. Nickel and other special grades are quoted upon request. (read more)

Anvils used to manufacture polycrystalline diamond compacts undergo extreme pressure and represent one of the harshest applications to which tungsten carbide can be subjected. This requires a pore free microstructure. General Carbide supplies a grade of carbide that delivers high cycle life due to a double sinter-HIP process that fully consolidates the microstructure of the material. (read more)

Hot Isostatic Processing (HIP) involves the application of high pressure and temperatures through the medium of a pressurizing gas, such as Argon or Nitrogen, to remove internal porosity and voids, thus increasing density and upgrading properties. (read more)

Fixtureworks has expanded its lineup of workholding and fixturing components with the addition of a wide range of solid carbide, serrated and smooth gripper pads and inserts, which are easily replaceable within workholding and positioning devices. (read more)
