Polished Long Round Tungsten carbide Cold Heading Die Forging Die
Tungsten carbide cold heading dies are commonly used in cold heading machines for fastener production. They serve as the mold core in the cold heading process and are designed to withstand high pressures and repetitive impacts. The key properties of tungsten carbide that make it suitable for this application include its high hardness, toughness, impact strength, and excellent wear resistance.
Tungsten carbide is a composite material composed of tungsten (W) and carbon (C) atoms. It is known for its exceptional hardness, ranking among the hardest materials available. This high hardness allows the tungsten carbide cold heading dies to withstand the intense pressure and forces exerted during the cold heading process.
