Cold forging dies
Carbide Dies
Tungsten-carbide dies for high-volume cold forming, where wear life decides the cost per part.
Carbide dies are the highest-duty tooling we make. A pressed carbide insert is set into a steel case, so the forming surface carries the load while the case takes the shock and the mounting.
We machine the case on CNC, sink or wire-cut the profile, then finish-grind after vacuum heat treatment so the bore and seating faces hold their relationship. The result is a die that keeps its form far longer than a solid steel equivalent on the same station.
Features
- Pressed carbide insert in a steel case
- Vacuum heat treated case for shock resistance
- Ground bore and seating faces after treatment
- Profiles cut by die-sink or wire EDM
- Built across the 8B–38B range
Applications
- High-volume hex and flange nut forming
- Stations where die wear drives changeover frequency
- Abrasive or high-load forming duties
- Repeat production where part consistency matters
