How To Make Carbide Dies From Carbide Plate ?

Tungsten carbide plate is a kind of plate with high hardness, toughness and good wear resistance, widely used in machinery parts and wear parts:

It has many advantage compared with steel plates:

• Excellent red hardness, high hardness, good wear resistance and chemical
  stability.
• Non-destructive ultrasonic flaw detection, without sand hole and pore.
• Tungsten carbide plate is sintered by HIP-sinter furnace, greatly reduce
  porosity, enhance compactness.
• Effectively prevent the occurrence of pressing defects by isostatic
  pressing machine, and the density is more uniform for cemented carbide
  plate blanks.
• Stress released, avoid the occurrence of cracks in the cutting and forming
  process.

Tungsten carbide segments dies -- a group of dies made of tungsten carbide used to make hexagon forging die for screw, bolts and nuts.

For the segments ,we have 3 methods to produce

1. press it from tungsten powder with mold into small segments
2. cut the hex cold heading dies into 6 pieces.
3. cut the segments from the plates.

The third method is the best and easiest way to make segments dies, you only need to have a middle speed or low speed wire cutting machine.
