Customized Cemented Carbide Plate — Factory-Direct Tungsten Carbide Blanks in Any Size, Shape & Grade
Product Description
This is not a fixed catalogue item. It is a made-to-order cemented tungsten carbide plate built to your drawing — your dimensions, your shape, your grade, your finish. We press, sinter and grind each blank in our own factory and ship it ready for your next machining step, whether that is wire-cut sectioning, diamond grinding or direct assembly into a die set.
Every blank starts from 100% virgin tungsten carbide powder and is densified in a HIP sintering furnace, giving a pore-free structure, high hardness, high wear resistance and strong resistance to bending. Because we control pressing and sintering in-house, non-standard sizes are a normal production run rather than a special favour.
What You Can Specify
Size and thickness. Standard reference blanks run from 25×25 mm through 50×50, 100×100, 105×105, 150×150, 200×200 up to 300×300 mm, with thickness from 2 mm to 50 mm. Anything outside that range — larger, smaller, thicker — is quoted as a custom item.
Shape. Square, round, rectangular and irregular (lump) forms are all produced, plus fully bespoke profiles supplied on drawing. Discs for sealing components, rectangular strips for wear plates and profiled blocks for die inserts all come off the same production line.
Grade. YG6, YG6A, YG8, YG8C, YG11, YG11C, YG13, YG15, YG15C and YG20 — covering hardness from HRA 85.5 to 92 and transverse rupture strength up to 2,850 N/mm². Grades can also be tuned to your application where standard grades are close but not exact.
Tolerance class. You choose how much work to take on yourself. Sintered blanks are supplied at the standard as-pressed tolerance — approximately 0 to +0.8 mm on 25 mm-class blanks, widening to 0 to +4.0 mm on the 300 mm class. Polished plates are held to ±0.01 mm. For most buyers the practical choice is between a low-cost blank you finish in-house and a polished plate that goes straight into production.
Purity and standard. Material composition is quoted to your requirement and produced to GB standard, with other national standards available on request.
Where These Plates Go
Custom carbide plate is a cross-industry material, and our production records show it clearly. Buyers in aviation and aerospace use it for forming tooling and structural wear components. Electronics manufacturers use dense, fine-grain plate for precision stamping and EDM applications. Medical customers need small, consistent blanks for surgical instrument tooling. Chemical plants specify it for seal faces and corrosion-resistant parts. Metallurgy and oil drilling operations take it as wear plate and downhole tooling stock, while mining uses it for crusher and impact components. Standard machining shops buy it as tool blanks and mould base stock.
What these applications share is the same requirement: a blank whose material properties are identical from the first piece to the thousandth, because it is produced from one controlled powder lot and one sintering profile.
Factory-Direct Pricing and Supply
Because there is no trading layer between you and the press, our pricing is structured as factory-direct with volume tiers — the per-kilogram rate improves as order quantity increases, and trial quantities are accepted so you can validate the material before committing to a production lot. Monthly output of 20 tonnes means repeat volumes are supported without waiting for capacity.
Lead time depends on tooling. For sizes we already hold moulds for, production takes roughly 7 to 15 days after receipt of deposit. For non-standard sizes requiring new tooling, allow approximately 15 to 35 days. Packaging is configured to your requirement so the plates arrive ready for your own warehouse or line-side storage.
