Ammunition & Defense
Innovative Carbide Serving the Ammunition & Defense Market for Over 30 Years
Ammunition and Defense industries rely on materials consistency in order to meet their customers’ demand for precision and quality products. That’s why they look to Innovative Carbide as a dependable partner in carbide ammunition tooling.
Innovative Carbide’s exclusive “no-wax process” reduces tooling wear and increases production runtime.
Other carbide producers add wax to their product in an attempt to make machining easier in the pre-sintered state. Innovative Carbide’s team recognized long ago that if not fully removed, wax contaminates carbide, causing porosity and carbon control problems that contribute to chipping during tooling and premature part failure. Innovative Carbide’s “no-wax process” guarantees consistent material quality with dependable properties, superior strength, and the capability to achieve a high-quality, polished finish.
By collaborating with our customers, Innovative Carbide provides creative solutions for the ammunition and defense industry’s toughest manufacturing challenges. We offer the manufacturing, engineering, and applications expertise to determine specific material, process, and product design to improve your productivity and profitability.
