Tungsten Carbide Strips

Precision tungsten carbide strips for cutting edges, wear strips, guide rails, woodworking tools, metalworking tooling, and custom industrial components.

Precision tungsten carbide strips for cutting edges, wear strips, guide rails, woodworking tools, metalworking tooling, and custom industrial components.

Product Overview

Tungsten Carbide Strips are wear-resistant cemented carbide blanks and components designed for cutting edges, guide rails, wear surfaces, tooling inserts, and custom industrial applications. Manufactured from cemented tungsten carbide, these strips provide excellent hardness, wear resistance, compressive strength, and dimensional stability.

Carbide strips are commonly used as semi-finished blanks for further grinding, brazing, wire EDM, edge preparation, or assembly into finished cutting tools and wear components. Compared with conventional tool steel strips, tungsten carbide strips can maintain sharper cutting edges and more stable working surfaces in abrasive, high-load, and high-cycle applications.

KENIN Carbide manufactures standard and custom tungsten carbide strips according to customer drawings, samples, finished-tool requirements, and operating conditions. Available options include solid carbide strips, precision-ground strips, polished strips, chamfered strips, grooved strips, slotted strips, carbide wear strips, and other customized rectangular carbide components.

Applications

Tungsten carbide strips are widely used as blanks or finished components in cutting, guiding, wear protection, tooling, and industrial machinery applications.

Typical applications include:

Woodworking knives and planer blades
Paper, film, foil, and textile cutting tools
Slitting and trimming tools
Metalworking cutting tools
Carbide-tipped saw and cutter components
Wear strips and guide rails
Stamping and forming die components
Carbide guide inserts
Mining and abrasive material processing equipment
Plastic and rubber processing tools
Industrial machinery wear components
Custom toolmaking and precision engineering applications

Custom Manufacturing

KENIN Carbide manufactures custom tungsten carbide strips according to drawings, samples, finished-tool designs, and working requirements.

Custom options include carbide grade selection, strip length, width, thickness, edge geometry, chamfers, radii, slots, grooves, holes, steps, machining allowance, tolerance, flatness, parallelism, surface finish, and inspection requirements.

We can supply carbide strip blanks with machining allowance, precision-ground strips, polished strips, brazing strips, wear strips, guide strips, cutting-edge strips, slotted strips, and other non-standard carbide rectangular components.

For an accurate quotation, please provide the drawing or sample, length, width, thickness, carbide grade requirement, finished application, required quantity, tolerance requirements, surface finish requirement, and expected operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tungsten carbide strips be manufactured according to drawings?
Yes. KENIN Carbide can manufacture tungsten carbide strips, cutting strips, wear strips, guide strips, rectangular carbide bars, slotted strips, and other custom carbide flat components according to customer drawings, samples, 3D files, or detailed technical requirements. Length, width, thickness, holes, slots, grooves, edge condition, tolerance, surface finish, and carbide grade can all be customized.
Can carbide strips be supplied as blanks for further machining?
Yes. Tungsten carbide strips can be supplied as semi-finished blanks with machining allowance for customers who need further grinding, brazing, wire EDM, drilling, slotting, polishing, edge preparation, or assembly into finished tools and wear components.
Can strip length, width, and thickness be customized?
Yes. Length, width, thickness, edge geometry, grooves, slots, holes, steps, chamfers, radii, and other functional features can be customized according to the drawing and finished application.
Can tungsten carbide strips be precision ground or polished?
Yes. KENIN Carbide can supply as-sintered strips, precision-ground strips, polished strips, lapped surfaces, controlled flatness, controlled parallelism, and customized edge conditions according to drawing requirements.
What information is required for a quotation?
Please provide the drawing or sample, length, width, thickness, required quantity, finished application, carbide grade requirement, tolerance requirements, surface finish requirement, and any special features such as slots, holes, grooves, steps, chamfers, or edge geometry.
What are tungsten carbide strips used for?
Tungsten carbide strips are commonly used for woodworking knives, cutting edges, guide rails, wear strips, slitting tools, die components, forming tools, machine wear parts, and other industrial machinery components requiring wear resistance and dimensional stability.
What is the difference between a carbide strip and a carbide plate?
A carbide strip is usually a long and narrow rectangular carbide component used for cutting edges, guide rails, wear strips, or tool inserts. A carbide plate is generally wider and more suitable for die plates, wear plates, guide plates, and larger flat components. The final distinction depends on the dimensions and finished application.
Can tungsten carbide strips be supplied for brazing applications?
Yes. Tungsten carbide strips can be supplied for brazing onto steel tool bodies, saw blades, cutting holders, guide rails, and other assemblies. The strip dimensions, surface condition, edge geometry, and carbide grade can be selected according to the brazing method and final application.
