We stock carbide blanks in  the following grades. You will see these grades referenced on the product  pages.
Carbide is a cemented,  composite material with unique characteristics of wear resistance, heat  resistance, strength, toughness and hardness that make it ideal for many  industrial applications, especially as a material for cutting tools. Tungsten  carbide powder is formed and sintered, using cobalt as a binder, to produce  carbide blanks in many shapes and sizes. These carbide blanks are ground in  various geometries to produce cutting tools for both general purpose and  specialized application. Carbide flat blanks are often used to fabricate  carbide-tipped tooling. The flat blank is brazed to a steel body; then the  cutting edge is ground into the carbide tip. Carbide round blanks are typically  ground into solid carbide cutting tools.
