Carbide Grades
Our tooling is manufactured with the finest grades of carbide found in the industry. Our uniquely designed Dura Carb family of carbide grades improves performance and increases productivity. Learn more about our most popular Dura Carb grades below.
Dura Carb
With its premium microgram structure, Dura Carb is a versatile grade that can be applied in a wide range of applications.
Dura Carb II
Super strong substrate designed to handle high shock resistance. It contains a larger percentage of cobalt which increases its resistance to shock. We recommend Dura Carb II in roughing applications and to add coatings to improve tool life.
Dura Carb III
This superior wear grade is excellent for low impact tooling. It is a long-lasting substrate for ideal machining conditions.
Dura Carb IV
Special ultra fine carbide grade for machining hard materials > 60 RC.
Dura Carb V
Special micrograin grade for high-performance machining of steel, stainless steel and difficult-to-machine materials, like titanium. It has optimum toughness combined with very good wear resistance.
