Can Tungsten Carbide Burrs Be Used on Composites?

Yes, tungsten carbide burrs can be used on composites, but the tool needs to match the material. Cutting carbon fiber or fiberglass is very different from grinding steel. The main problem is often not whether the burr can remove material. It is whether it can cut the fibers cleanly without causing fraying, delamination, or damaged […]

How Are Tungsten Carbide Burrs Used in Mold Manufacturing?

A mold may be made with CNC machines, EDM, grinding, and polishing, but there are always small areas that need a little more attention. This is where tungsten carbide burrs in mold manufacturing become useful. They can remove small amounts of metal, correct local shapes, reach difficult areas, and prepare surfaces for later finishing. The […]

Why Are Tungsten Carbide Burrs Used in Power Plant Maintenance?

A power plant outage can make a very small metal defect feel surprisingly expensive. Once turbines, pumps, valves, casings, and piping systems are opened, maintenance teams often find burrs, damaged edges, old welds, rough repair areas, and hard-to-reach surfaces. Tungsten carbide burrs in power plant maintenance are useful because they can remove metal quickly while […]
