Gws 777-001055A Rectangular Carbide Blank C2 STB-432L

Product Description

The GWS 777-001055A is a rectangular carbide blank measuring 12 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.125 inches thick, manufactured to C2 material grade. Carbide blanks serve as raw stock for cutting tools, wear parts, dies, and custom tooling applications. This blank is unground raw material, intended for shops and toolmakers who cut, grind, and finish carbide to exact tolerances. The C2 grade designation places this blank in the general-purpose tungsten carbide class, suited for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. It conforms to Industry Specification STB-432L.

This carbide blank is used in industrial and trade settings where custom tooling or precision wear parts are fabricated in-house. Typical applications include toolroom operations, machine shops, and maintenance facilities that require carbide stock for grinding custom inserts, wear strips, or guide pads. The rectangular profile simplifies fixturing and secondary grinding operations. It is supplied as a single piece per package with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• C2 grade tungsten carbide for general-purpose machining of cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Rectangular profile simplifies clamping and secondary surface grinding operations
• Conforms to Industry Specification STB-432L
• 12 inches length provides maximum flexibility for cutting multiple smaller blanks from a single piece
• 0.125 inch thickness suits thin wear strip and insert applications

Compatibility

Designed as raw carbide stock for use in toolroom and industrial fabrication applications requiring C2 grade rectangular carbide blanks conforming to STB-432L specifications.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are raw material and require secondary processing before use. Cutting and grinding of carbide requires diamond-wheel equipment and appropriate coolant to prevent cracking from thermal shock. Fabrication should be performed by qualified toolmakers or machinists familiar with carbide handling. Inspect the blank for edge chips or cracks before processing.
