Carbide Rods Portfolio
Hyperion Materials & Technologies, AFC Hartmetall, and Sinter Sud stand for:
Stable, secure supply chain
Tool makers and machine shops are working to control their inventory and want items delivered to them on time. It is more important now than ever before. You also need a stable supply of carbide rods, and to ensure we can deliver that, we control our entire manufacturing process, from powder to production by:
- Securing our raw materials from stable, global sources
- Manufacturing our own ready-to-press powders in the United States and France
- Manufacturing our carbide rod blanks in Germany, Italy, U.S., and Mexico
- Supplying our products through a network of distribution centers around the world, including four major sites in the U.S. and Europe.
Complete product portfolio
We manufacture a wide range of superior cemented tungsten carbide grades. From these carbide grades, we produce a wide range of solid rods and rods with coolant holes (central, parallel, and helical holes set at a variety of angles), as well as preforms and specialty blanks. Our unique product portfolio is designed to increase your performance.

Partner, never a competitor
We are not a toolmaker. We leave that to you, and we are proud to be a valued partner with our customers to solve the problems you face, together. This means you do not support your competitors by buying their blanks nor do you share your drawings with them.
