Product Overview

Panda Carbide Tungsten Carbide Rods are produced from ultra-fine grain tungsten carbide powder using advanced HIP sintering technology.
They deliver superior hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, making them ideal raw materials for CNC cutting tools, end mills, reamers, drills, and wear parts.

We supply both unground (blank) and ground (h6 tolerance) carbide rods, including rods with coolant holes and custom dimensions to meet specific production needs.
