1.Tungsten carbide punches outperform steel punches, lasting 12-15 times longer. This means you save money on not having to replace your punches as frequently.
2.he higher price of the carbide punches compared to steel punches is more than made up for due to superior performance. While carbide punches cost up to three times as much their longer life of 12-15 times longer make them a much better choice and Saving thousands of dollars in tooling.
3.Long lasting carbide punches also save you the labor costs of changing out your punches frequently. Plus every time a punch needs to be changed out, your machines aren’t running, hurting production.
4.When “high volume” and “high wear resistance” are key factors to your metal stamping success, you cannot go past our Tungsten Carbide Punches and Dies.

1.Our Tungsten Carbide Punches and Dies are “made better to last longer” as compared to steel punches and dies with less maintenance downtime.
2.We also supply Tungsten Carbide die blocks and die sections to your drawing, either finished precision ground or in a hardened pre-form state with soft threads for you to finish grind.
3.We have the capability to supply Tungsten Carbide dies for “Stacking Dies” used in the production of laminated products, such as electric motors or ‘E’ and ‘I’ laminations for transformers.
4.Our Tungsten Carbide is used in primary and secondary scroll dies for steel can and steel container tooling.
Other industry applications for Tungsten Carbide and Silicon Carbide include: seals, shafts, bearings, chokes, valve trim and drilling components.
