Tungsten Carbide blanks are the starting point for a vast array of high-wear components across numerous industries. Their primary use is to be machined (via grinding, EDM, or other specialized methods) into finished parts. Common end-products made from these blanks include: Cutting Tools: Inserts for lathes, milling machines, and drills. Wear Parts: Nozzles for sandblasting or waterjet cutting, pump seals, valve components, and tire studs. Tooling and Dies: Drawing dies for wires and rods, stamping dies, and forming tools. Precision Components: Gauge blocks, bearing surfaces, and rotary cutters. Using blanks allows manufacturers to produce custom, high-performance parts with complex geometries without the need to invest in the entire sintering process themselves. https://www.carbure-tungstene.com/products/tungsten-carbide-blanks

A Tungsten Carbide blank is a pre-formed, semi-finished piece of sintered carbide that has not yet undergone its final machining or grinding to become a finished product. Think of it as a rough diamond or a block of marble for a sculptor—it possesses the core material properties but hasn't been shaped to its precise final dimensions or tolerances. These blanks are typically produced through a process of powder metallurgy: tungsten carbide powder is mixed with a cobalt binder (usually 6-12%), pressed into a desired green form under high pressure, and then sintered in a furnace at extremely high temperatures. This process creates a incredibly dense and hard structure, but the sintering process causes the part to shrink and requires a final machining step to achieve pinpoint accuracy. https://www.carbure-tungstene.com/products/tungsten-carbide-blanks
