Product Description

Product Overview

Our Tungsten Carbide Bar Peeling Inserts are precision-engineered cutting tools designed specifically for centerless lathe operations in steel rod processing. Manufactured from premium-grade tungsten carbide (WC-Co) raw materials, these inserts deliver exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and toughness — ensuring consistent high-quality surface finishes and extended tool life even under the most demanding production conditions.

Whether you are processing carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, or non-ferrous metal rods, our bar peeling inserts provide the reliability and performance you need to maximize productivity and reduce per-unit production costs.

Key Features & Advantages

1Premium Material

  • Manufactured from 100% virgin tungsten carbide powder with controlled grain size
  • Cobalt binder content optimized for balance of hardness and toughness
  • Hardness: HRA 89-92 (depending on grade)
  • Transverse Rupture Strength: ≥ 2200 N/mm²

2Precision Manufacturing

  • CNC ground to tight tolerances (±0.005mm on critical dimensions)
  • Mirror-polished cutting edges for reduced friction and improved surface finish
  • Consistent geometry across every insert for predictable machining performance
  • 100% dimensional inspection before shipment

3Exceptional Wear Resistance

  • Advanced sintering process ensures uniform microstructure
  • Resists abrasive wear, adhesive wear, and crater wear
  • Maintains sharp cutting edges 3-5 times longer than high-speed steel (HSS) tools
  • Reduces tool change frequency and machine downtime

4Versatile Application

  • Suitable for peeling, turning, and sizing operations on centerless lathes
  • Compatible with various steel grades: carbon steel, alloy steel, tool steel, stainless steel
  • Works effectively on non-ferrous metals: copper, aluminum, brass, bronze
  • Ideal for both wet and dry machining conditions

5Cost-Effective Solution

  • Longer tool life reduces tooling costs per piece
  • Higher cutting speeds increase machine productivity
  • Consistent quality reduces scrap rates and rework
  • Lower total cost of ownership compared to imported premium brands
