Application
Dentistry
The tungsten carbide burs have different densities designed to withstand specific levels of work in dental drilling operations. Each carbide bit density can perform a particular grinding job, whether it be fine cuts, ultra-fine cuts, rough cuts, or ultra-rough cuts.[1]

Tungsten Carbide Blades
The blades are up to 4” in diameter and are compatible with high-speed air or electric portable saws and grinders. There have four different types of circular saw blades for different cutting needs:
General Purpose: Ideal for all-around cutting of composite materials.
Heavy Duty: Wider band of tungsten carbide grit on each side of cutting edge makes this a great blade for extremely hard and/or thick materials.
Slim Trim: Reduce kerf width by two-thirds and leave a finer edge finish with this blade. A medium grit is brazed to the outside diameter for fast cutting action. Tunco then applies 80-grit on each blade side. Highly recommended for cutting thin materials.
Razorback: If your small diameter/high rpm blades are creating excessive heat, Razorback offers an alternative. Available as a General Purpose or a Slim Trim blade, Razorback’s slots permit blade expansion from high heat and create increased air flow for better heat dissipation.
Tungsten Carbide Drawing Dies:
Drawing dies are typically used in the drawing of wire, rod, bar, and tube. The materials that are drawn are typically copper alloys, aluminum alloys, and steel alloys.[2]
Tungsten Carbide Extrusion Dies
Extrusion dies are typically used in an extrusion process where a slug of material is pushed through the die giving it a cross-sectional area (based on the shape of the extrusion die). The extrusion process can be performed at various temperatures (specific to the material and desired mechanical properties) and used on a variety of materials including, steels, copper, aluminum, nickel, lead, and tin.[3]
Tungsten Carbide Shaving Dies:
Shaving dies are typically used to remove surface defects that are introduced in the drawing process. The shaving process can be used on a variety of steel alloys (including stainless steels), copper alloys, and other materials.[3]
