Tooling & Dies

Industry Overview

Tooling and die systems often operate under repeated contact, high forming pressure, abrasive wear, impact load, tight tolerances, and high-volume production conditions. Components such as punches, punch pins, die inserts, drawing dies, cold heading dies, forming dies, guide parts, and wear inserts must maintain stable geometry and reliable working surfaces during long production cycles.

Tungsten carbide is widely used in tooling and die applications because it provides high hardness, strong wear resistance, compressive strength, dimensional stability, and long tool life. Properly selected carbide tooling can help reduce replacement frequency, improve forming consistency, maintain critical dimensions, and support repeatable production performance.

KENIN Carbide manufactures custom tungsten carbide dies, punches, inserts, blanks, and tooling components according to drawings, samples, tool structures, workpiece materials, forming methods, production volume, tolerance, surface finish, and expected service life. We can review carbide grade, working profile, edge geometry, contact surface, mating parts, and inspection requirements before production.
