Cemented carbides might sound like a niche term, but they’re everywhere in tough industrial jobs—think cutting blades in factories, molds for making screws, or drill bits for mining. Why? Because they’re ultra-hard, wear-resistant, and can handle impacts and corrosion like champs. In “hard vs. hard” scenarios, they’re the go-to material.
But different industries demand wildly different things from them:
That’s why customization is the only way—tweaking formulas, sizes, and processes to fit specific industries and conditions. To make this easier, we’ve mapped out the entire “needs-to-delivery” process into a clear step-by-step guide. Who does what, how long it takes, and what to watch for—all laid out to save time and headaches.
Stage | Core Actions | Key Notes/Timelines |
---|---|---|
1. Requirement Collection | Provide detailed drawings OR physical samples (at least one); Clarify application scenarios and operating parameters; Agree on material selection (grades/formulations). |
– Need to clarify the industry (cutting/molding/mining, etc.) and operating parameters (e.g., cutting speed, impact load, temperature) – Materials can be YG8, YT15, or special formulations with TaC/NbC additions |
2. Production Drawing Design | Create standardized production drawings (including dimensional tolerances, structural details, and process requirements). | – Cycle: 3–5 days (extended for complex structures) – Drawings include details like edge radii, draft angles, and process specifications |
3. Mutual Drawing Confirmation | Both sides verify dimensional precision and process feasibility; sign off on drawings. | – Focus on confirming dimensional tolerances, precision grinding feasibility, sintering shrinkage compensation, etc. – Require full parameter consensus to avoid mass production deviations |
4. Customized Production | Launch full production process: raw materials → forming → sintering → finishing. | – Raw material stage: formula adjustment, uniform mixing control – Forming stage: pressing density, mold design – Sintering stage: temperature curves, vacuum environment – Finishing stage: grinding accuracy, surface treatment – Cycle: 25–30 days (varies by formula/processing difficulty) |
5. Comprehensive Quality Inspection | Conduct multi-dimensional testing on finished products and issue reports. | – Dimensional accuracy: ±0.005mm level control (for precision scenarios) – Material properties: hardness, density, bending strength, wear/impact resistance tests – Simulate real working conditions to verify “performance-scenario matching” |
6. Packaging & Delivery | Protective packaging and logistics arrangement for shipment. | – Packaging: moisture-proof, rust-proof, shock-resistant design – Logistics: ocean/air freight options, cycle 5–7 days (adjusted by distance/method) |
