Tungsten Carbide Tooling for Powder Compaction
Powder-metallurgy tooling shapes powdered materials under extreme pressure, so it must combine high compressive strength with dimensional stability. Sonani Tungsten manufactures powder compaction dies, punches and core rods used to press ferrites, ceramics, abrasives, tungsten carbide, refractory bricks and iron powders into precise, repeatable parts across the ceramic, ferrite and metal-powder industries.
Carbide tooling outlasts steel in compaction because it resists the abrasive wear of hard powders while holding tight tolerances over long production runs, reducing downtime and scrap. The SCW11 grade, with its balance of strength and toughness, is well suited to powder compaction dies, core rods and sealing rings. Every tool is engineered to your part geometry and supplied worldwide.

How Tungsten Carbide Is Made
From raw tungsten powder to finished cemented carbide. Our controlled powder-metallurgy process in five stages.
- Step 1
Carburization
When tungsten and carbon are heated in a furnace, they combine to form tungsten carbide (WC), the hard base material.
- Step 2
Mixing & Granulation
Cobalt and other binder metals are blended with the tungsten carbide, then dried and granulated into a fine, uniform powder.
- Step 3
Pressing
The powder is compacted in a mould into the required shape. At this stage the part is still soft, about as hard as chalk.
- Step 4
Sintering
The pressed part is sintered at about 1400°C (2550°F) in a vacuum or non-oxidizing atmosphere, fusing it into dense cemented carbide.
- Step 5
Grinding & Finishing
Finally, the hardened carbide is precision-ground, shaped, and finished to exact tolerances and surface specifications.
