Tungsten Carbide Depositing (TCD) Equipment

Description: Tungsten carbide depositing (TCD) equipment is used for depositing a thin layer (up to 20-25 microns) of tungsten carbide on cutting tools, press tools, and worn-out parts. HSS cutting tools coated with tungsten carbide maintain toughness and develop a carbide cutting edge without the brittleness of carbide, resulting in longer tool utility and less frequent tool re-sharpening and replacement. Expensive tooling can be replaced by low-cost dies that have been TCD processed. Galling, erosion, and catering are reduced on treated tools and dies. The TCD process is also used to protect new dies from heat checks and to avoid soldering, pitting, and die erosion. No further heat treatment, nitriding, or other surface treatment is necessary for the TCD processed die-casting dies. The TCD process is done at room temperature, and there is no risk of tool damage and any stress or distortion on the job. Tungcar operates on single phase, 230V AC, 50 c/s supply. The impregnated (TCD) layer is neither affected by the abrasiveness of machining nor by the heat generated during the machining. The surface hardness of TCD layer is 72 RC that can be measured only by a micro-hardness tester or a sceleroscope.
