Vacuum Brazed Tungsten Carbide & Cr12MoV

Tungsten carbide brings extreme hardness and exceptional wear resistance to any cutting or wear surface. Cr12MoV tool steel offers high compressive strength, good toughness and excellent dimensional stability. Vacuum braze them together and you get finished products that outperform single-material components in the toughest applications.
 

The design is straightforward. Tungsten carbide handles the cutting edge or wear surface where abrasion and heat are constant. Cr12MoV provides the structural backbone, absorbing shock and carrying mechanical loads. Together they extend tool life and improve performance. Joining these materials requires precision. Their different thermal expansion rates and compositions can create weak points if not managed carefully. Our vacuum brazing process solves this. The vacuum environment eliminates oxidation and contamination. The filler metal flows cleanly and evenly, creating strong reliable joints across the entire interface.

The result is excellent wear resistance from the carbide side and high mechanical strength from the Cr12MoV backing. Long-term durability is built into every joint. The finished products are engineered for demanding tooling applications where precision and performance are essential. These vacuum brazed products are ideal for cutting tools, molds, dies, wear-resistant components and industrial tooling. When your application demands reliability and durability, tungsten carbide to Cr12MoV vacuum brazing delivers.
