How Carbide Tool’s Hard Weld Process Extends Tool Life

What is Hard Weld Repair?

Over time, cutting tools experience wear and tear from continuous use. Instead of discarding them, hard welding is an advanced repair technique that restores damaged tools by applying a durable, wear-resistant layer. This method reinforces cutting edges and ensures tools perform like new.

Carbide Tool is one of the only repair companies to implement this cutting-edge process. Our hard weld repairs go beyond simple regrinding or pocket repairs —our process adds strength, durability, and guaranteed full repair to each tool.

Hard Weld vs. Soft Weld: What’s The Difference?

Hard welding is a highly effective method that restores tools to their original strength by matching the pre-existing hardness of the base material and reinforcing tool walls to be as durable as a brand-new tool. This process significantly enhances wear resistance and longevity compared to soft welding. Soft welding utilizes a much softer material that does not hold as well over time. Because it is an easier repair technique, it is more prone to failure under stress, increasing the likelihood of future tool damage.

At Carbide Tool Services, we prioritize quality and durability in every repair. While machining tools in their hardened state presents challenges, our expertise ensures that the process results in the longest-lasting and most reliable tool life extension for our customers. Our commitment to precision and excellence makes us the industry leader in cutting tool repair and refurbishment.
