ROMULUS, Mich. - Michimich -- Raven Carbide Die, a leading manufacturer of high-performance carbide tooling, is helping manufacturers reduce costly downtime by addressing the most common causes of carbide die failure: wear, chipping, and cracking.

Carbide dies are essential in metal forming, wire drawing, and high-pressure manufacturing. While their hardness and wear resistance make them ideal for demanding applications, improper handling and neglect can shorten their lifespan. Raven Carbide Die emphasizes that understanding common failures—and implementing preventive practices—can significantly improve tool life and productivity.

Key causes of carbide die failure include:

• Wear: gradual erosion from contact with abrasive materials.
• Chipping: fractures caused by misalignment, mishandling, or shock loads.
• Cracking: breakage due to thermal shock, stress, or poor installation.

Raven Carbide Die encourages manufacturers to adopt regular inspection, proper lubrication, and scheduled reconditioning to maximize die performance.
