Can Zhongfu manufacture tungsten carbide parts from my drawing?

Yes. Custom carbide parts are our core business. Send a 2D/3D drawing with tolerances, surface finish and working conditions; our engineers recommend a grade and can optimize the powder formulation to match your wear, impact or corrosion requirements.

Which cemented carbide grades do you supply?

We supply standard WC-Co grades from YG6 to YG20, nano and ultrafine grain rod grades for end mills and drills, and nickel-bonded non-magnetic grades. Low-cobalt grades favor hardness and wear resistance; higher-cobalt grades favor toughness and impact resistance.

What makes non-magnetic carbide different from standard carbide?

Standard tungsten carbide uses a cobalt binder, which is ferromagnetic. Non-magnetic carbide replaces cobalt with a nickel-based binder, so parts can be used near magnetic sensors, in MWD/LWD downhole tools, magnetic molding dies and corrosive media.

How fast will I receive a technical reply?

Our engineering team replies to every inquiry within 8 hours, including grade suggestions and manufacturability comments on your drawing.

Which markets do you export tungsten carbide products to?

Our carbide products are exported to more than 20 countries, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Germany.

Understanding Carbide Grades The Global Landscape of Cemented Carbide Grades

Cemented carbide, a composite material of refractory metal carbides (like tungsten carbide) and a binder metal (typically cobalt or nickel), is indispensable across countless industries due to its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and strength.

Dominant Grades & Their Applications

The most common grades are classified by ISO standards (K-series for ferrous metals , P-series for non-ferrous and non-metals) and proprietary designations (e.g., YG6, YG8, YG15, YG20). YG6, with 6% cobalt, offers high hardness for fine finishing of cast iron and non-ferrous alloys. YG8, with 8% cobalt , provides better toughness for general machining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Carbide Questions Answered

We understand you have specific needs. Here are answers to common questions to help you make informed decisions.

What are the common grades of tungsten carbide?

The most prevalent grades are classified by ISO standards (e.g., K10-K30 for ferrous metals) and manufacturer-specific designations like YG6, YG8, YG15, and YG20. YG6 is known for its high hardness, suitable for finishing operations, while YG8 offers better toughness for general machining and impact resistance. We can advise on the best grade for your specific application.

What is the difference between WC-Co and WC-Ni grades?

WC-Co (Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt) is the standard. WC-Ni (Tungsten Carbide-Nickel) grades use a nickel binder, making them non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosive environments. This makes them ideal for applications near magnetic sensors, in downhole oil and gas tools (MWD/LWD), and in certain chemical processing equipment.

How do I choose the right carbide grade for my application?

Grade selection depends on key factors: the material being machined/processed, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, required surface finish, and impact or wear conditions. Lower cobalt content generally means higher hardness and wear resistance, while higher cobalt content provides greater toughness. We strongly recommend consulting our technical team with your specific application details.

Can you produce custom carbide parts from drawings?

Absolutely. Customization is a core strength of Zhong fu Carbide. We specialize in manufacturing carbide parts to your precise specifications, including complex geometries and tight tolerances, based on your 2D or 3D drawings. Our engineers can also assist in optimizing designs for manufacturability and performance.

What is the typical lead time for an order?

Lead times vary based on order complexity, volume, and current production schedules. For standard products, lead times can range from 2-4 weeks. Custom orders may require longer depending on design and tooling requirements. We provide estimated lead times with every quotation.
