FOR END MILLS, DRILLS, REAMERS & MICRO TOOLS — NOT TUNGSTEN HEAVY ALLOY
Cemented Carbide Rod Blanks (WC-Co)
Solid and coolant-hole tungsten carbide rod blanks for cutting-tool manufacturing, supplied ground or as-sintered to the required diameter, length, grade and tolerance.
VERIFIED COMMERCIAL EVIDENCE
Published evidence for carbide rod supply
Use Ruixin's published rod photograph, dimensions, grade data, finish options and order terms as the starting point for blank selection and purchasing review.
Published dimension range
Rod diameter 0.3–50 mm and length 10–330 mm are published, with ground diameter tolerance h5/h6. Final diameter, length, chamfer, straightness and inspection method require order confirmation.
View dimensions →Grades and material data
SU10UF, SU20, SU20F, SU25UF and YG10X are published with HRA 88–93.5, TRS at least 3000–4200 MPa and grain size 0.4–0.8 μm.
View grade data →Finish and coolant options
As-sintered, ground and polished, and centreless-ground supply are published. Straight coolant holes and helical 30°, 40° or custom layouts can be reviewed against a drawing.
View configuration options →Samples, delivery and records
Published samples are 1–5 pieces in 3–5 business days. Typical bulk lead time is 2–3 weeks below 16 mm and 3–4 weeks above 16 mm; shipment MTR covers hardness, density, TRS and grain structure.

Final grade, dimensions, coolant-hole geometry, surface condition and inspection scope are confirmed before production. New tool applications should begin with a controlled sample batch and grinding evaluation. Cutting performance also depends on tool geometry, grinding, coating, workpiece material and machining parameters.
