Take a closer look at the people, processes, and capabilities behind our carbide blanks and preforms, manufactured in Lewiston, Michigan.

07/08/2026

H.B. Carbide was founded in 1984 in Lewiston, Michigan by Norman B. Lawton.

It started with a small group of people focused on one thing: producing consistent, reliable tungsten carbide blanks for industrial applications.

Today, the company operates as a 140 plus person manufacturing team across three shifts in Northern Michigan.

Some of the original team members are still part of the operation today, bringing more than 45 years of hands-on manufacturing experience to the floor. That kind of continuity shows up in how work gets done day to day, through steady processes, shared standards, and a deep understanding of the material.

That mix of long-term experience and current manufacturing capacity allows the company to support customers with consistency they can build on.

The quality of a carbide grade is determined by more than its composition alone.

Laboratory testing and metallurgical analysis help verify material characteristics, microstructure, grain size, and overall consistency before a grade moves into production and ultimately into customer applications.

A Closer Look at Carbide Grades for Aerospace Materials

In aerospace manufacturing, cutting tool performance is closely tied to the materials being machined. From high-temperature alloys to composites and other advanced materials, each presents unique challenges that influence tool life, consistency, and overall process reliability.

Carbide grade selection plays a key role in how tools respond to these challenges. Even small differences in material composition can influence wear resistance, heat management, and overall reliability.

Gain deeper insight into how carbide grade selection impacts performance across a range of aerospace materials.
