What are the advantages of carbide molds?

1. High hardness
The main components of cemented carbide molds are tungsten carbide and cobalt. This material has a very high hardness, usually in the range of 90 to 95 HRA, and some can even reach 97 HRA. This means that carbide molds can be efficiently cut and processed with many materials, such as steel and other conventional alloy materials.
Additionally, because carbide molds are so hard, they are harder to wear than regular steel. This ensures that the mold has a longer service life, allows for efficient production over a longer period of time, and reduces production costs.

2. Excellent wear resistance
In addition to being harder than steel, carbide molds also have excellent wear resistance. The material can operate efficiently in high temperature and pressure environments with little wear or damage.
This feature is very important because in manufacturing, some parts are very demanding to make and need to withstand huge forces and pressures during use. In order to ensure quality and stability, it is necessary to use molds with high wear resistance.

3. Good corrosion resistance
Carbide molds also have very good corrosion resistance. Compared with other materials, carbide molds are not easily corroded by chemicals and therefore can be used in a variety of environments. For example, some metals require continuous contact with chemical liquids during processing. This may result in the part surface
Corrosion and rust occur, affecting production efficiency and parts quality. However, the use of carbide molds can effectively avoid this situation, thereby improving production efficiency and part quality.

4.Long life
Carbide molds generally last longer than molds from other materials. This is due to the very high hardness and wear resistance of carbide molds. Even when used in high temperature and high pressure environments, it is not prone to deformation or wear, so the service life of carbide molds is usually longer than molds made of other materials. In production, mold replacement usually requires a certain amount of time and cost. The use of carbide molds can reduce the frequency of replacement, thereby saving production costs and improving production efficiency.

5. Highly customizable
Carbide mold manufacturing is relatively flexible. Carbide mold making is more customizable than traditional mold making methods. This means that material selection, tool design and manufacturing can be customized according to the specific needs of customers to meet the production needs of different industries and customers.
