how to cut tungsten carbide rod？

When cutting tungsten carbide round bar, you need to ensure the stability and precision of the cutting equipment and tools to get accurate cutting size.

Select appropriate cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut to avoid over-cutting or damaging the round bar.

Use coolants or lubricants to minimize friction and heat generation and to extend the life of cutting tools.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, to ensure safety.

Specific tungsten carbide round bar cutting methods

Abrasive wheel cutting: this is one of the most commonly used cutting methods. Choose a grinding wheel suitable for tungsten carbide material, fix the round bar on the cutting equipment, slowly rotate the bar and gradually contact the grinding wheel to cut. Take care to control the cutting speed and pressure to avoid overheating and damaging the tungsten carbide rod.

Wire cutting: This method is suitable for precise cutting. Through the principle of electric spark discharge, a thin metal wire is used as an electrode to gradually cut the tungsten carbide bar into the desired shape. Wire cutting allows for high precision and surface quality.

Laser cutting: The surface of the round bar is irradiated with a laser beam of high energy density, which causes the localized instantaneous heating and evaporation or melting, thus realizing cutting. Laser cutting has the advantages of high precision, high speed and contactless cutting.

Saw Blade Cutting: Using specialized carbide saw blades or diamond saw blades, the tungsten carbide rod is fixed on the sawing machine for cutting. This method is suitable for thicker tungsten carbide rod.
