Assemble circuit boards and other electronic parts with dowel pins that insulate against stray current. These pins prevent short circuits and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can harm performance and cause malfunctions. They’re also lighter than metal pins if you need to reduce weight in prototypes and moving assemblies. Dowel pins are machined to tight tolerances and have a uniform diameter for a snug fit. Since they can be hard to remove, they are best for fixtures that don't need to be adjusted or taken apart frequently.

Machine long-lasting tools, such as end mills and inserts, with this Tungsten. Tungsten carbide, sometimes called carbide, is harder than our Corrosion-Resistant Tungsten with excellent wear resistance. Its extreme hardness lets cutting edges stay sharp far longer than high-speed steel.

Seal out air and gas in high-temperature and high-wear applications. With 0% porosity, these rods and discs fully block gas permeation that porous ceramics can't match. Their Rockwell 45N 83 hardness exceeds most technical ceramics, resisting abrasive wear in demanding environments. Rated to 3,075° F, they maintain structural integrity well beyond the limits of metals and plastics. High compressive strength and electrical insulation make them well suited for furnace components, wear guides, and sealing surfaces.
