Construction

In the construction industry, CERATIZIT provides customised solutions for our customers that are wear-resistant, extremely hard and tough at the same time. Our carbide tools are dedicated to the following applications, among others:

  • Stone drilling / machining (concrete, stone, granit, marble, tarmac,…)
  • Tile cutting, such as concrete roof tiles
  • Brick manufacturing
  • Road construction
  • Stone extraction / quarrying

Decade-long partnerships with our customers, the extensive experience of our engineers, as well as the most modern technologies guarantee future-oriented products.

Medical & Health

Our large offer of biocompatible grades will fulfil your requirements for medical and dental instruments. Shouldn’t you find the needle holder tip you need in our standard product portfolio, we are happy to provide you with customised solutions. Our large range of blanks will allow you to finish high-quality dental drill burs.

Tobacco

Individual
For years, we have been developing very complex components and forms according to customers’ specifications for the cigarette manufacturing industry. Of course, we produce all our components with extreme precision and the closest of tolerances – completely according to your needs.

High-performance
Finished precision components such as knives and scrapers are used frequently in high-speed machinery, where they are subject to high stress and severe abrasion. To that point, our carbide grades, which are characterised by low wear and, in return, have a long service life and reduce production downtimes, offer a decisive competitive edge.

Type – according to the customer’s request

  • As sintered
  • Ground to customer specifications
  • Fully finished steel carbide composites in assembly

Carbide properties (varied according to grade)

  • Wear-resistant
  • Corrosion-resistant
  • High compressive strength
  • High fracture toughness

Oil & Gas

CERATIZIT’s legacy of innovation and unmatchable manufacturing capabilities has allowed us to develop unique carbide grades for oil & gas applications and serve the industry with a comprehensive product portfolio. We want to hear about your next challenge! Learn here more about our solutions for the oil & gas industry.

Watches & Jewellery

Jewellery for eternity - Scratchproof elegance
Carbide watches, clocks and jewellery are characterised by a shiny surface and their high durability. Thanks to the carbides’ particular hardness, they are more resistant to knocks and scratches than steel, gold or platinum and therefore elegantly withstand everyday use.

Decades of experience
In the 1960’s, we had already developed the first carbide watchcases – today we produce tens of thousands of cases per year for various models. You can trust in our experience.

Carbide properties

  • Wear-resistant
  • Good impact strength
  • Scratchproof

We produce even the most complex shapes via the modern metal injection moulding process with very low tolerances.
 

Application Range

  • Watch and clock production
  • Jewellery production

Textile

Power Tool Accessoires

As a global partner for hard metal solutions, CERATIZIT is able to provide a wide range of carbide products (from the strips to the semi-finished blades) dedicated for power tools.  

These blades, called power tool accessories are used to cut wood, wood & nails, thick metal, bolts, screws and copper pipes. Do not hesitate to contact us for more details.

Sports

We provide premium carbide for diverse sports applications. Ski and Nordic-Walking sticks are reinforced with tungsten carbide tips. Furthermore, high-performance horseshoes for competition are equipped with Ceratizit carbide studs. Carbide is also used for turf maintenance on football fields.
