Efficiency Unleashed:
Green-Machined Preforms
Unlock substantial time savings in grinding and wire-EDM processes with green-machined preforms from Quality Carbide Metals. This innovative manufacturing process enables the rapid removal of larger material amounts per cut compared to traditional hard-grinding or EDM fabrication. The result is performed geometries that are not only more affordable than hard-grinding or wire-EDM but also streamline your entire tool manufacturing process.
Near Net Shape Forms:
Streamlining Tool Finishing
QCMI can provide a blank with a form that closely matches the net shape of your final form. Fabricators then simply grind the grinding stock allowance (typically .010"-.030") off to bring the dimensions into tolerance, completing the tool. Often, the finish and tolerance held by our green machining eliminate the need for more than a sharpening of the edges. This is particularly true for our brazing tips. Opting for a preformed tungsten carbide blank eliminates unnecessary material costs, as custom sizes are offered at no additional tooling charge. Standard catalog blanks may become a waste of material and money once you discover the affordability of our custom sizes and forms.
