Tungsten-Carbide Technologies for Custom Projects
Oliver Carbide has developed several proprietary tungsten-carbide tooth structures designed to address different levels of material removal, durability, and surface finish requirements.
These engineered carbide technologies form the foundation of many Rubberhog® and Shieldzall® solutions and can also be incorporated into custom tools developed for specialized industrial applications.
The chart below highlights the performance characteristics of our primary carbide structures.
