Non-Magnetic Tungsten Carbide Sleeve With Precision Holes WC-Ni Alloy Bushing For MRI & Semiconductor Equipment
Non-Magnetic Tungsten Carbide Sleeve with Precision Holes
Engineered for Precision in Critical, Field-Sensitive Environments.
When your application demands absolute magnetic neutrality alongside complex internal features for lubrication, weight reduction, or sensor integration, standard components fall short. Our Non-Magnetic Tungsten Carbide Sleeve is the definitive solution. Fabricated from specialized WC-Ni alloy and machined with sub-micron precision, it delivers zero magnetic interference and long-lasting performance in the most demanding sectors like medical imaging and semiconductor manufacturing.
Core Technology & Material Advantage
At the heart of this sleeve is a proprietary WC-Ni (Tungsten Carbide-Nickel) alloy. By replacing the conventional cobalt (Co) binder with nickel (Ni), we eliminate ferromagnetism at its source while retaining the exceptional hardness and wear resistance tungsten carbide is known for.
- Guaranteed Non-Magnetic: Magnetic permeability (μ) is consistently < 1.002, making it perfectly safe and interference-free in MRI and other sensitive electromagnetic fields.
- Superior Material Properties:
- Hardness: 90-92 HRA, ensuring exceptional resistance to wear and deformation.
- Density: ~14.9 g/cm³, offering high rigidity and stability.
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to chemicals and coolants, ideal for cleanroom and medical environments.
- Functional Hole Designs:
- Lubrication Holes: Ensure even oil film distribution for high-speed rotational or linear motion, drastically reducing wear.
- Venting/Weight Reduction Holes: Optimize mass for dynamic balance in rotating assemblies without compromising structural integrity.
- Mounting/Alignment Holes: Facilitate precise installation and integration within complex assemblies.
- Machining Excellence: We achieve remarkable precision in these internal features:
- Positional Accuracy: Multi-hole pattern true position tolerance within ±0.01mm.
- Diameter Consistency: Hole diameter tolerance as tight as ±0.005mm.
- Surface Finish: Internal bore and holes can be finished to Ra 0.2μm for smooth fluid flow or reduced friction.
