This is one of the main application of cemented carbides. Forging tools generally consists of dies and punches and are used for cold or warm or hot forging depending on the operation temperature. Forging is the mass-production technology which can get the plastic deformation as close shape as the final one in order to improve the yield rate and product strength. Forging technology is the base technology for the mass production of automobile parts. Our cemented carbides have been supplied to advanve the progress and development of the forging technology.

The manufacturing of lead frame, which is required for semi-conductor devices supporting the basis of modern technology, is mainly based on the lead frame production method by using dies. In the same way, dies are also used to produce motor core represeneted by silicone steel plate and so on. The cemenetd carbides used for these applications need to have the excellent wear-resistance and strength and be machined with less difficulties. Our cemenetd carbides can be applied to these applications because of the reliability based on our continuous improvement of the quality.

The cemented carbides which has the excellent wear-resistance and toughness are used for the ultra-thin cutting tools, which are applied to produce the multi layer condenser that are the one of the parts for CPU in computers and the power suppliers of desital camera's LCD or conpact liquid crystal displays. And they are also used for rotary cutter tools to manufacture the rare earth magnets applied to VCM magnetic circuit for HDD or pick-up unit for optical disc devices or motors for Factory Automation System or speaker for mobile phone. They have the applications like cutting, drilling, bending, forming, and the cutting is the main application. Slitter knives are one of the well-known rotary cutting tools. Our cemented carbide is being used depending on the material to be cut like paper or glass or metal.
