Frequently Asked Technical Questions (FAQ)
Authoritative guidance addressing common engineering, metallurgical, and international procurement considerations.
How do you overcome micro-cracking during EDM machining of tungsten carbide?
Micro-cracking is mitigated by precisely controlling pulse energy during wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) to minimize the brittle recast layer. We follow with diamond-wheel surface grinding or chemical etching to eliminate micro-notch stress risers on load-bearing surfaces.
What distinguishes nickel-bonded tungsten carbide from cobalt-bonded grades?
Cobalt binders are ferromagnetic and susceptible to acid leach corrosion. Nickel binders are non-magnetic and deliver vastly improved resistance against corrosion in saline and acidic environments, making them ideal for MWD sensors and chemical fluid seals.
Can you provide custom sintered preforms to reduce our final machining costs?
Yes. We specialize in producing near-net-shape green preforms via custom tooling and multi-axis CNC green-machining prior to Sinter-HIP. This minimizes raw material waste and sharply cuts final diamond grinding hours.
What dimensional inspection reports are provided with bulk export orders?
Every lot includes full CMM dimensional validation reports, material test certificates (chemical analysis, density, HRA hardness, TRS values), and metallographic porosity scans verified under 200x to 500x magnification.
