Tungsten Carbide Graver

Tungsten carbide graver is formed by using the tungsten carbide as main raw material and adopting the powder metallurgy.

As an old saying goes, “a handy tool makes a handy man.” As a seal carving amateur, it is necessary to own a good graver. The graver to a seal carving amateur is like writing brush and ink stick to the literati, and the golden cudgel to Monkey King.

  Tungsten steel graver can help you blaze a way through all manner of obstacles and grave the world.

Tungsten steel graver, also called tungsten carbide graver, is formed by using the tungsten carbide as main raw material and adopting the powder metallurgy. Moh‘s scale of hardness is about seven. Except the diamond, its hardness is the highest. The hardness of the four famous stones (including Qingtian Stone, Balin Stone, Shoushan Stone and Changhua Stone) is ranged from 2-4 Hm. It is easy to use tungsten carbide graver to carve on them.

“To use the knife with large opening angle to directly curve the surface” refers to the method that uses the passivated knife with high wrist strength and adopts the way of cutting directly. The tungsten carbide graver is of high density and sharp. If we apply the tungsten carbide graver, it is easier to control the knife and lines so that work can be carved more delicately. Because it is heavier than other gravers.

Owing to its special material and high workmanship, the tungsten carbide graver is characterized by good wear resistance, long service life and corrosion resistance. We don’t need to worry that the graver will be worn out or get rust. Basically, it does not need the maintenance and can be used forever if you do not fling it down. As for stainless steel graver, you have to oil, waterproof and regularly sharpen it. How inconvenient it is. Therefore, the tungsten carbide graver is better.

If you use tungsten carbide graver too frequently which makes the graver blunt, it is better to grind it so that it won’t affect the operation. It is recommended to use a diamond disc with a higher hardness. Sharpening a tungsten carbide graver with a diamond grinding disc not only has a fast speed, but also has a good effect. A graver can be ground in a short time.

It is worth noting that tungsten carbide graver can only be used to carve the materials (such as polymethyl methacrylate) instead of carving the materials with high hardness (such as jade and crystal). Please do not hit the tail with a hammer in order to prevent it from being broken. Tungsten carbide graver should be prevented from falling on hard surfaces such as cement and tile floors. If the blade is unfortunately damaged and the graver head is broken, it is suggested to replace with the new product or use the diamond grinding disc for sharpening. In order to guarantee that the blade is even and straight, the direction of the grinding is generally the same as the direction of the graver.

You can not carve without the graver. The graver is the most important carving tools which can keep company with you and help you grow up. At present, the most widely-used graver with high quality in China is tungsten carbide graver. It can not only reduce a lot of obstacles of carving, but also improve the quality of your work.
