Expertise from an Industry Leader

General Carbide|UK and its sister company, General Carbide, are frequent participants in technical conferences worldwide. We’ve made some of those presentations, and articles derived from them, available for your viewing.

We have also organized our collective knowledge for your benefit by creating a Designer’s Guide to Tungsten Carbide. This insightful reference book is intended to give designers, engineers, fabricators and end-users of tungsten carbide materials “best practices” recommendations based upon field experience and lab testing.

Presentations, articles and other reference materials are:

• Advancements in Cemented Carbide Products & Processing
• Advanced Cemented Carbides for Powder Metal Tooling Applications
• The Manufacturing Process for Cemented Tungsten Carbides
  (by Premo J. Pappafava, founder of General Carbide)
