Application Specific Carbide Rods
Tungsten carbide rod blanks for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools for machining in challenging conditions or specific materials.

Application specific carbide rods are special tungsten carbide rod blanks engineered for toolmakers that deliver high-performance tools that will be used to machine in specific challenging conditions. Hyperion’s application specific carbide rod grades help toolmakers create drills, reamers and endmills that achieve reliability, consistency and high-quality results while machining high-hardness metal, titanium, corrosion-and heat-resistant steel, or in applications where a diamond coated tool is required. 

Application specific carbide rods grades support toolmakers to design round tools that set them apart in challenging customer applications. Hyperion’s application specific carbide grades support your goals by providing a blank that:

  • Is resistant to breaking and chipping in extreme heat conditions

  • Improves coating efficiency in tooling that uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond coating

  • Improves machining in titanium and stainless-steel materials applications, where corner chipping is a risk

  • Increases machining productivity when working hardened steel (> HRC60) for mold and die applications


Engineered to Perform, Tailored to the Material You Are Machining
Application specific carbide rod blanks are engineered to meet the needs of specific, challenging applications. Each application specific carbide rod grade is tailored to improve performance under different conditions or in different materials. Because of this, toolmakers are able to select a grade that is designed to improve specific edge integrity, sharpness and productivity in a wide range of situations.

Application specific carbide rod blanks are designed to produce drilling and reaming tools and end mills to work high-hardness metal, titanium, corrosion- and heat-resistant steel, or dealing with diamond coated materials.

A Broad Product Portfolio Available in Stock
Application specific carbide rod blanks are available in a wide range of solutions to optimize your tool to your customers’ requirements. It includes solid carbide rods, carbide rods with coolant channels, end mills and ballnose carbide blanks.
