10mm x 75mm Castlebar Polished Tungsten Carbide Rod – Grade 9008/C2

Description

Product Overview

The 10mm × 75mm Castlebar tungsten carbide round rod is engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. Crafted from high‑grade 9008/C2 cemented tungsten carbide, the rod features a sub‑micron grain structure that delivers unparalleled hardness (HRa 92) and a polished surface finish of 0.1 µm maximum Ra. The chamfered, ground, and polished treatment ensures a smooth, burr‑free edge that reduces wear on tooling and improves material flow during machining. With a diameter tolerance of h6 (+0/‑0.009 mm) and a length of 75 mm, the rod provides consistent dimensional accuracy across batches, making it a reliable choice for precision components, high‑stress tooling, and wear‑resistant parts. The product is manufactured by Castlebar, a trusted name in advanced carbide solutions, and complies with rigorous quality standards to guarantee performance and longevity.

Usage

This rod excels in environments where extreme hardness, dimensional stability, and surface finish are critical. Typical applications include high‑speed machining of hardened steels, aerospace component fabrication, medical device manufacturing, and wear‑resistant inserts for stamping and forming operations. The polished surface minimizes friction, extending tool life and reducing heat generation during cutting or grinding. Its sub‑micron grain size ensures uniform wear resistance, making it suitable for repeated cycles in automated production lines. Engineers, machinists, and procurement specialists in the aerospace, automotive, and medical sectors will find this rod an optimal solution for projects that demand precision, durability, and consistent performance under high loads.
