Resists abrasive wear

High wear resistance is probably Ferro-Tic's best known characteristic.

Ferro-Tic is less brittle and one half the weight of tungsten carbide. Ultrahard titanium carbide micrograins(3200 Vickers vs. 2400 for tungsten carbide) are uniformly distributed throughout a hardenable metal matrix alloy.

A twofold complementary effect is achieved whereby the hard, round titanium carbide grains protect the matrix while the specially formulated matrix securely grips the self-lubricating titanium carbide mini spheres.

The result: greatly improved life, even when used with highly abrasive materials.

Keeps cutting edges keen

Cutting demands a sharp, keen edge for blanking punches, shear knives, rotating slitters, pelletizer knives or bed knives.

The very fine, rounded, slippery titanium carbide grains nestled in a tough metal matrix resist dulling and chipping.

At 68-70Rc, Ferro-Tic maintains a sharp cutting edge through millions of cycles.
