Industrial wear applications are as varied as the industries they
serve. General Carbide manufactures over 50 grades of material which
will satisfy any industrial wear application involving erosive wear,
abrasive wear and chemical/mechanical corrosive wear including wear
applications that also involve impact. Our application engineering
staff has years of experience to reliably predict how successful a
grade will be in a particular environment. Although high hardness is
usually assumed to be the best physical property to resist wear,
hardness is not the only property to consider. Grain size, type of
binder and the overall operating environment also determine which grade
will perform best. Our preform shaping skills will ensure that stock
allowances are kept to a minimum or if a finished part is desired, our
hard grinding department will skillfully provide a part with the
surface finish and tolerance desired.
