Exceptional Wear Resistance Tungsten Carbide Hexagon Punch
Product Overview
The Tungsten Carbide Hexagon Punch is a high-performance tool engineered for demanding stamping and forming operations. Manufactured from ultra-fine grain tungsten carbide, it combines unparalleled wear resistance, extremely high compressive strength, and precise hexagon forming capability. Optimized for high-volume production of consistent hexagonal holes, hexagonal bosses, or hex socket screw blanks under high-speed, high-impact, and high-wear conditions, it significantly enhances production efficiency and die life.
Core Advantages & Value
- Exceptional Wear Resistance, Multiplied Service Life
- Material Advantage: Tungsten carbide hardness exceeds 90 HRA, offering wear resistance dozens of times greater than high-end tool steel.
- Economic Benefit: The extremely long service life dramatically reduces downtime for die changes and punch replacement costs, making it ideal for continuous automated production.
- High Compressive Strength & Impact Toughness
- Durability: Possesses very high compressive strength (≥4000 MPa), effectively resisting impact forces and pressure during punching, preventing head mushrooming or chipping.
- Stability: The optimized microstructure provides good impact toughness, tolerating certain degrees of misalignment.
- Precision Hexagon Forming
- Dimensional Accuracy: The punch's hexagon head is precision-ground, featuring sharp contours and accurate angles, ensuring formed hexagons are regular and dimensionally consistent.
- Superior Surface Finish: The high surface finish of the punch helps reduce friction, improving part quality and minimizing galling.
