Carbide & Hard Metals
Diamond and superabrasive tooling solutions for precision grinding, cutting, profiling, lapping and finishing of tungsten carbide, cemented carbide and other hard wear-resistant materials.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
HANS provides diamond and superabrasive tools for processing tungsten carbide, cemented carbide and other hard, wear-resistant materials. Our solutions support cutting, precision grinding, sharpening, profiling, edge preparation, lapping and surface finishing of carbide inserts, rods, dies, punches, cutting tools and industrial wear components.
KEY CHALLENGES
Carbide and hard metals combine extreme hardness and wear resistance with demanding requirements for dimensional accuracy and edge quality. Processing can generate heat, micro-chipping and excessive abrasive wear, while precision components require controlled material removal and repeatable surface finishes.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
Recommended solutions include resin, metal-bond and electroplated diamond grinding wheels for carbide grinding; precision diamond wheels for tool sharpening and profiling; diamond burs and mounted tools for detailed machining; flexible diamond abrasives for contour finishing; and diamond lapping films, discs and compounds for fine surface preparation and polishing.
KEY BENEFITS
Efficient grinding of ultra-hard materials, accurate profiles and cutting edges, controlled material removal, consistent surface quality and reliable abrasive performance. Custom diamond grit sizes, bond systems, dimensions and wheel profiles are available for specialized carbide-processing requirements.
