Carbide Rod Research

Hyperion Materials & Technologies is born out of GE, Diamond Innovations, and Sandvik Hard Materials. Heavy investment in pioneering research & development is our foundation, and partnership with our customers to create innovative technologies and materials solutions are the building blocks for our continued growth.

Hyperion continues to lead the way in developing cemented carbide rods to position our customers to win. Over 130 engineers and technitions are driven to serve our customers, whether through new product development, performance testing, failure analysis, or process development. Visit our R&D and Materials Analysis Laboratory pages for more information.

Hyperion cemented carbide rod analysis with coolant A vital component of Hyperion’s R&D capabilities is our state-of-the-art applications development center in Worthington, Ohio (USA). Well equipped with machining centers and lathers, the center simulates real world applications of carbide rods, such as, slot milling and side milling. Hyperion leverages this capability for product development, application development, training, and other technical support.

A sampling of our carbide rod research is available below.

Carbide Rod Research Note

Hyperion cemented carbide tool life comparison - High performance series vs application specific series Hyperion Materials & Technologies has introduced three series of cemented carbide grades to help customers select the optimal grade best suited for their end-use application.

The choice of material used to produce end mills and drills for machining operations has a major impact on results. Visit our PDF Download section for a research note presenting results from tests conducted in our Hyperion Technology Center (USA).

Inconel Milling with Grade H10F Carbide Rods

Hyperion cemented carbide grade H10F Inconel machining tool life comparison Hyperion Materials & Technologies' High Performance grade H10F has been engineered to give superior performance when milling Inconel®.

In tests conducted in our Hyperion Technology Center (USA), carbide rods made from grade H10F outperformed conventional rods by up to 50% while exhibiting repeatable and consistent performance. The grade H10F carbide rods exhibit an engineered balance of hardness and toughness. Visit our PDF Download section for a leaflet containing test details and additional results.

Inconel is a registered trade mark of Huntington Alloys Corporation.

Titanium Milling with Grade AM70 Carbide Rods

Hyperion cemented carbide grade AM70 trochoidal milling Hyperion Materials & Technologies' Application Specific grade AM70 has been engineered to give outstanding performance in trochoidal milling.

In tests conducted in our Hyperion Technology Center (USA), carbide rods made from grade AM70 outperformed conventional rods by up to 30% while exhibiting repeatable and consistent performance. The grade AM70 carbide rods were more stable and gave less spindle load than the conventional rods. Visit our PDF Download section for a leaflet containing test details and additional results.
