Tungsten Carbide Inserts CNC Cutting Tool

Tungsten carbide is used in cutting and drilling applications requiring extreme hardness and wear resistance, including DTH hammer bits, hole openers, mining tools, and machining inserts. Its density and toughness make it ideal for penetrating hard, abrasive rock formations in mining, construction, oil & gas, and geothermal drilling operations.

DTH hammer bits are available in diameters ranging from 2 inches to 18 inches (50.8 mm to 457.2 mm), with 12 distinct shank and connection models including Domintor 100, MACH 20, COP32, DHD 340, and QL40, allowing compatibility with virtually any standard DTH hammer system.

Tools can be configured with Standard, Diamond, or Bluemaxx carbide grades, paired with Domed, Ballistic, or Semi-Ballistic button shapes and Concave, Convex, Flat, or Double Gauge face designs, enabling optimized performance for varying rock hardness and abrasiveness levels.

These tools are widely used in mining, oil & gas drilling, construction and geotechnical investigation, geothermal energy development, water well drilling, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD), wherever hard or abrasive rock formations must be penetrated efficiently and reliably.

Yes, custom manufacturing is available for non-standard diameters, face shapes, button configurations, and carbide grades. Engineering teams work directly with customers to design tooling suited to specific formation hardness, drilling method, and equipment compatibility requirements.

DTH hammer bits are used for primary drilling and penetration to create the initial borehole, while hole openers (reamers) enlarge an existing borehole to a required diameter using the same DTH hammer system. Both rely on tungsten carbide button inserts for hard rock cutting performance.
