Application Specific Carbide Rods

Tungsten carbide rod blanks for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools for machining in challenging conditions or specific materials.

Application specific carbide rods are special tungsten carbide rod blanks engineered for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools that will be used to machine in specific challenging conditions. Hyperion’s application specific carbide rod grades help toolmakers create drills, reamers and endmills that achieve reliability, consistency and high-quality results while machining high-hardness metal, titanium, corrosion-and heat-resistant steel, or in applications where a diamond coated tool is required. 

Application specific carbide rods grades support toolmakers to design round tools that set them apart in challenging customer applications. Hyperion’s application specific carbide grades support your goals by providing a blank that:

  • Is resistant to breaking and chipping in extreme heat conditions

  • Improves coating efficiency in tooling that uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond coating

  • Improves machining in titanium and stainless-steel materials applications, where corner chipping is a risk

  • Increases machining productivity when working hardened steel (> HRC60) for mold and die applications

Frequently Asked Questions about Application Specific Carbide Rods

What are application specific carbide rods?

Application specific carbide rods are special tungsten carbide rod blanks engineered for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools machining in specific, challenging conditions. Hyperion Materials & Technologies offers application specific carbide rod grades to achieve reliability, consistency and high-quality results for a range of specific tooling needs, including the machining of high-hardness metal, titanium, corrosion- and heat-resistant steel, or dealing with diamond coated materials.

Which types of carbide rods are available within the application specific series?

Application specific carbide rods are available with coolant channels as well as solid rods. Carbide rods with coolant channels are available in multiple options, including coolant blanks with a central hole, coolant blanks with a central hole and lateral exits, coolant blanks with two parallel holes, coolant blanks with two helical holes. Solid rod blanks include cemented carbide end mill blanks, cemented carbide solid blanks, and cemented carbide ballnose blanks. Most of the application specific carbide rods are available in customized options, including the choice of carbide grade, rod diameter, coolant hole diameter, coolant hole type and density, length, finish, and chamfer. 

Talk to Hyperion’s experts for a personalized consultation on which is the best carbide rod for your specific needs. 

Who are application specific carbide rods for?

Application specific carbide rods are engineered for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools for machining high-hardness metal, titanium, corrosion- and heat-resistant steel, or diamond coated materials and chemical components that require extra attention. 

What's the difference between high performance and application specific carbide rods?

High performance carbide rods are designed to provide toolmakers with outstanding performance and tool life across a wide range of applications. Their performance may be exceeded by application specific carbide grades in more challenging applications. Application specific carbide rods are meant to create this same outstanding performance, tool life consistency and reliability when machining high-hardness metal, titanium, diamond coated material, or corrosion-and heat-resistant steel. 
 
For toolmakers, the portfolio of application specific carbide rod grades supports the development of unique tooling for unique applications that can drive a premium in the market due to longer life and better reliability in typically difficult applications.
