Overview of Tungsten Carbide Guide Rod customized highly polished tungsten carbide rod

Tungsten is a metallic element with the element symbol W and atomic number 74. It is located in the VIB group of the sixth period of the periodic table of elements. In nature, tungsten mainly exists in the form of hexavalent cations. Its ionic radius is small, it has strong polarization ability, and it is easy to form complex anions.

When preparing pure tungsten or tungsten alloy, the main methods include powder metallurgy, smelting (including electron beam melting, vacuum melting, plasma beam melting) and chemical vapor deposition.

Feature of Tungsten Carbide Guide Rod customized highly polished tungsten carbide rod

The thermal expansion coefficient of tungsten is very low, only 4.5×10^-6 m/mK, so it has good thermal stability. These properties make tungsten widely used in manufacturing high-temperature components and reliable heat detectors.

Parameters of Tungsten Carbide Guide Rod customized highly polished tungsten carbide rod

A highly polished tungsten carbide guide rod, also known as a tungsten carbide tooling bar or a tungsten carbide insert, is a precision-engineered component typically used in various industrial applications due to its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability. The customization of such a rod would involve several key specifications, which may include:

1. Material: Tungsten Carbide (WC) – 95% tungsten and 5% carbon (WC-Co), sometimes with other elements like cobalt for increased toughness.

2. Diameter: Customizable – Can range from a few millimeters to several centimeters, depending on the application requirements.

3. Length: Custom length – From a few centimeters to meters, depending on the intended use.

4. Hardness: HRC (Rockwell C scale) – Typically above 86-93, indicating very high hardness, but can be tailored further upon request.

5. Finish: Highly Polished – Refined to a mirror-like surface finish, usually Ra (Roughness Average) below 0.01 microns for minimal friction and wear.

6. Geometry: Custom shape and profile – Depending on the application, it could have a straight, conical, or stepped design.

7. Coatings: Sometimes, a thin coating (e.g., titanium nitride, DLC [Diamond-Like Carbon]) might be applied to enhance wear resistance and lubricity.

8. Machinability: The rod may need to be compatible with specific manufacturing processes, such as EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), grinding, or turning.

9. Tolerance: Accurate dimensions and concentricity to ensure proper fit and function.

10. Surface roughness: Low surface roughness ensures smooth operation and longevity.

To order a customized highly polished tungsten carbide guide rod, you would need to provide these specifications to the manufacturer, who will then fabricate the part according to your requirements.
