Expertise in Cemented Tungsten Carbide Metallurgy
Our globally renowned portfolio of grades for metalforming and stamping is based on
30 years of research and development of tungsten carbide based materials.
Withstand Extensive EDM
Our latest grades were developed with
a proprietary binder system and maintain the hardness and mechanical properties of
our conventional grades. They resist the corrosion, pitting, and cracking commonly
experienced during electrical discharge machining, especially in thick punches and
large die segments.
EDM Blocks
The Goode Carbide proprietary manufacturing processes result in superior, consistent
mechanical properties throughout the product lifecycle.

EDM Blocks
Unlike other carbide manufacturers, we produce our powders from the raw materials, this guarantees the highest quality tungsten carbide throughout the process and maximizes performance for the end user

Grade |
|
GD855 |
Composition: 10% corrosion-resistant binder with submicron grain structure. Very good wear resistance with high edge sharpness but less shock resistance than higher binder grades. Excellent for EDM operations and good in non-ferrous applications. Application: ISO K-30 grade with ideal wear resistance in high-speed stamping, medium, thin sheets — coining brass (.010" thick), can die ironing rings, non-gummy steels, compacting dies, stamping dies for razor blades, lead frames (thin copper .030"), annealed copper, and draw dies (300 series stainless steel). |
|
GD466 |
Composition: 12% corrosion-resistant binder with medium/fine-grain structure. Very high strength for heavy impact with low wear properties. Application: For standard stamping — impacting punches, coining dies, forming dies, can die punches, swaging dies, cold forming, very severe draw dies for .075" thick cold-rolled steel, piercing punches (305 stainless steel), and gummy steel. |
|
GD887 |
Composition: 15% corrosion-resistant binder with submicron grain structure for lead frame and connector stamping. Very high strength and excellent wear resistance for medium-impact applications. Application: Stamping dies for razor blades, electronic stamping, lead frame dies, laminations, spring steel stampings, and coining dies (hard metal). Not recommended for stamping thick stainless steel. Use in place of CD650 for difficult to EDM parts, or if corrosive die lubricants are used. |
|
GD650 |
Composition: Conventional 15% cobalt binder with submicron grain structure for lead frame and connector stamping. Very high strength and excellent wear resistance for medium-impact applications. Our most popluar grade for general purpose stamping. Application: Stamping dies for razor blades, electronic stamping, lead frame dies, laminations, spring steel stampings, and coining dies (hard metal). Not recommended for stamping thick stainless steel. |
|
GD750 |
Composition: Conventional 15.5% cobalt binder with ultra-fine submicron grain structure for lead frame and connector stamping. Very high strength and excellent wear resistance for low-impact applications. Application: Extremely thin punches or tools with very fine features will benefit from the ultra-fine submicron grain structure, which helps to prevent premature corner washout and maintain edge strength. Also may be used as an upgrade to CD650, due to increased hardness. |
