China Dia 8 × 330 mm Nano Grain Size Tungsten Carbide Rods for Making 0.25 µm Endmills, Drills and Boring Tools Manufacturer, Suppliers

This nano grain size tungsten carbide round rod is engineered specifically for manufacturing ultra-precise rotating cutting tools — 0.25 µm class endmills, drills, reamers and boring tools. Produced by extrusion from the highest purity raw materials and sinter-HIP processed, it delivers the fine grain structure, edge sharpness and strength that modern precision toolmakers demand.

Product Description

Product Description

The tungsten carbide rods and blanks are manufactured via extrusion from the highest-purity raw materials and subjected to advanced sinter-HIP processing. This approach ensures exceptional internal density, high structural reliability, and superior overall cutting tool performance. Standard cutting tool grades are typically engineered in sub-micron and ultra-fine grain structures; specialized alternative grades can be custom-formulated to exact user specifications.

Tungsten carbide round rods serve predominantly as base substrates for high-performance drills, end mills, and reamers. Beyond standard rotary milling, these rods are broadly deployed in precision cutting, metal punching, and dimensional measuring tools, serving critical requirements across paper making, packaging, industrial printing, and non-ferrous metal processing industries.

Why Choose These Carbide Rods

0.2 µm Nano Grain Structure
Ultra-fine microscopic grain configuration allows grinding of razor-sharp cutting edges, forming the foundation for machining 0.25 µm-class precision endmills with mirror-like surface finishes.
Extrusion + Sinter-HIP Process
Extruded directly from high-purity virgin powders and consolidated under Hot Isostatic Pressure (HIP) to ensure near-zero internal micro-porosity and highly uniform physical stability.
Hardness Meets Strength
Delivering an optimized balance of ≥ 94 HRA hardness coupled with ≥ 4,200 MPa transverse rupture strength, resisting micro-fracturing and edge chipping during high-speed feed milling.
H6 Ground, Ready for Production
Pre-machined to ultra-tight H6 outer diameter tolerance (Ø8 × 330 mm), reducing grinding preparation steps and feeding straight into standard CNC automated tool grinding lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q What are the composition and grain size of these carbide rods?

These rods feature an ultra-fine 0.2 µm nano-grain structure formulated with 91% Tungsten Carbide (WC) and 9% Cobalt (Co) binder, offering an optimal combination of extreme hardness and wear resistance.

Q What mechanical properties ensure high-speed tool durability?

The rods achieve a hardness of ≥ 94 HRA and a Transverse Rupture Strength (T.R.S) of ≥ 4,200 MPa, allowing tool edges to stay razor-sharp under demanding cutting conditions without edge fracturing.

Q What dimensional tolerance is supplied on standard blanks?

Standard carbide rods are precision ground to an industry-standard H6 diameter tolerance (such as Ø8 × 330 mm), making them ready for immediate loading into CNC tool grinding and coating systems.

Q How does the Sinter-HIP process improve carbide quality?

Extrusion combined with Sinter-HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) consolidates the material under high gas pressure, removing internal micro-pores to ensure structural uniformity and consistent machining performance.

Q Can these tungsten carbide rods be customized?

Yes, customization is fully supported. Non-standard outer diameters, specific cutting lengths, chamfered ends, coolant holes, and alternative grain/cobalt grades can be made to order.
