Explore our custom tungsten carbide and TiCN cermet product lines designed for demanding industrial operations and clinical applications.
Sichuan Shen Gong Carbide Knives Co., Ltd. was established in 1998 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Over the past 25 years, Shen Gong has grown into a national high-tech enterprise integrating material science, ultra-precision grinding, and custom manufacturing. We specialize in WC-based cemented carbide and TiCN-based cermet solutions, running integrated production from RTP powder processing to finished blades.
Our commitment to rigorous testing and mechanical optimization ensures that our medical blades and industrial tools meet strict international standards, providing clean cuts and long tool life in challenging settings.
A complete guide to material specifications, regulatory compliance, and precision engineering of surgical cutting instruments.
The global healthcare industry is seeing a rise in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS), ophthalmic procedures, microsurgery, and robotic-assisted surgeries. These clinical developments require high-quality surgical blades that can make clean, micro-precise incisions while reducing tissue damage.
Sourcing teams at global medical device manufacturers must manage strict supply chain risks, regulatory compliance, and structural performance requirements. When choosing partners for surgical blades, sourcing professionals focus on several key criteria:
The choice of material determines the edge retention, wear resistance, and cutting force of a medical blade. Standard medical knives typically use 440C or 420 stainless steel. However, advanced clinical devices and continuous manufacturing lines require tungsten carbide or TiCN-based cermets due to their superior performance properties.
| Material Type | Hardness (HV) | TRS (MPa) | Edge Roughness (Ra) | Primary Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultrafine WC-Co Carbide | 1650 - 1850 | 3200 - 3800 | < 0.02 μm | Micro-incisions, ophthalmic blades, bone saws, electrode cutters |
| TiCN-based Cermet | 1500 - 1700 | 2200 - 2600 | < 0.03 μm | Polymer cutting, high-speed slitting, cleanroom packaging films |
| Standard Stainless Steel (440C) | 600 - 700 | 1800 - 2000 | < 0.08 μm | Disposable standard scalpel blades, utility surgical knives |
By utilizing sub-micron grain tungsten carbide (WC) with precise cobalt binder distribution, Shen Gong produces blades that offer high fracture toughness along with excellent wear resistance. This reduces the risk of edge chipping during delicate surgical procedures.

Key details regarding medical and industrial blade production, raw materials, tolerances, and supply options.
We use sub-micron and ultrafine-grained tungsten carbide (WC) with 6% to 10% cobalt (Co) binders, depending on the required balance of hardness and toughness. For applications requiring low metal affinity and clean cuts on polymers, we offer TiCN-based cermets.
Our production lines use multiaxis CNC grinding machines and advanced diamond wheels. Each batch undergoes optical profiling and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) testing to confirm edge geometry and ensure there are no micro-notches.
Yes, we provide full OEM production. Customers can provide technical drawings, 3D files (STEP/IGS), or physical samples, and our engineering team will assist with material selection, prototypes, and volume production.
Sichuan Shen Gong is ISO 9001 certified. We follow rigorous trace documentation protocols from raw powder batch testing to final dimensions verification, ensuring consistency for high-precision industrial sectors.
Standard blanks are typically ready within 2 to 3 weeks, while custom-ground blades requiring special coatings or complex geometries generally take 4 to 6 weeks, depending on design complexity.
