Carbide Rod Views
Carbide is very hard steel commonly used in the manufacturing process. Carbide is stronger than most steel alloys used in the construction of saw blades. Therefore, attempting to cut a carbide rod with a saw blade will not yield great results. According to Jason Gallagher, a machinist that works with carbide, you could have success with a water jet machine that uses water as a cutting blade but those machines are extremely expensive and require training to use. A cost-effective way to cut a carbide rod is to use a diamond encrusted grinding wheel commonly used in machine shops.
Hold the carbide rod so the edge of the wheel is at a 90-degree angle to the rod and slowly slide the rod into the side of the wheel. Cut halfway into the rod with the wheel. Heat will build up in the rod from the cutting process. Stop as needed and submerge the rod into a bucket of water. This will quickly cool the rod down. When cooling the rod down, allow the grinder to run. This will help to cool down the diamond wheel.
Our principal focus is on carbide-rods for the production of rotary tools, and special parts to customer specifications, so called components. As a result of our patented technologies we are able to meet the vast majority of our customers
In 1988, G-Elit acquired its current building in Berlin and founded its first independent carbide manufacturing plant G-Elit Hartstoffe (Hard Materials). This enabled the company to develop and produce optimally suited carbide materials for its tool production, allowing Ultra Carbide to be flexible and react quickly to new machining trends. The subsequent results are naturally also available for customer tool applications.
