Explore our premium-grade industrial cutting tools, custom-engineered for optimal mechanical property performance in packaging, fiber processing, battery manufacturing, and paper industries.
Modern industrial processing lines operate at speeds and volumes that place extreme stress on mechanical shearing and slitting machinery. The modern pivot towards smart factories and automation mandates a reduction in equipment downtime. Consequently, the demand for high-performance shear blades that retain sharp cutting edges over millions of operations has surged globally.
In Europe and North America, strict yield tolerances and manufacturing environmental controls dictate the use of clean-cutting, dust-suppressed carbide materials. Emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, particularly China, Korea, and Japan, lead in lithium-ion battery electrode processing. This domain demands micron-level slit dimensional precision with zero surface irregularities or burrs, forcing manufacturers to upgrade from traditional high-speed tool steels to advanced powder metallurgy formulations and engineered composite ceramics.
A mere 10-micron edge deviation in a secondary slitting line can generate microscopic metallic particles. In Li-ion separator lines, these micro-shards compromise battery safety, leading to internal short circuits. Transitioning to sub-micron tungsten carbide structures solves this challenge, yielding long-term savings by protecting downstream equipment and preserving final product integrity.
*Sichuan Shen Gong Carbide Knives Co., Ltd. continuously controls the manufacturing supply chain from raw Ready-To-Press powder formulation to mirror-polished cutting tools.

Heavy-duty construction optimized for intensive plastics and rubber recycling processing.
Micro-refined edge sharpness preventing tearing in optical films.
Zero-notch mirror-finished blade edge avoiding raw material sticking.
Pairing flawlessly with upper blades to secure a dust-free slitting output.
Consistent geometry for continuous high-speed tube & straw slitting processes.
At the center of our high-durability performance is a specialized material synthesis workflow. Traditional tool steel blades fail quickly under high-speed manufacturing conditions, showing rapid thermal degradation. Sichuan Shen Gong Carbide Knives Co., Ltd. addresses this challenge by formulating sub-micron to ultra-fine grain tungsten carbide (WC) paired with cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) binders.
Additionally, we utilize advanced TiCN-based cermet composites for specialized metal finishing. Cermets exhibit a very low chemical affinity for ferrous metals. This property minimizes cold welding and built-up edge (BUE) formation, allowing for a mirror-like finish on slit sheet metal edges, preventing metal burrs and extending machine uptime.
For abrasive applications, we utilize advanced Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coatings, including Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC). These thin coatings lower the coefficient of friction and block thermal energy transfer into the carbide core, extending industrial cutting tool lifetimes by up to 200% compared to untreated blades.
Our engineered tungsten carbide shear blades and cermet profiles are optimized to meet the production tolerances of nine core industrial markets.
Shen Gong's high-toughness carbide materials are specially developed for producing pelletizing knives in plastic and rubber manufacturing, as well as shredding blades for waste recycling.

Shen Gong's high-precision shear slitting knives (coil slitting knives) have been exported to Germany and Japan for an extended period. They are widely used in the coil processing industry, particularly in the slitting of silicon steel sheets for motor manufacturing and non-ferrous metal foils.
View Sector Solutions →In high-speed manufacturing environments, precision requirements depend on the physical properties of the target material. The mechanical properties of the shear blade must be matched to the substrate's tensile strength, thickness, and elasticity.
Electrode slitting presents a difficult challenge due to the abrasive nature of active battery materials, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) or nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), coated onto thin aluminum or copper foils. Traditional steel blades wear down quickly, creating burrs on the electrode edges that can cause separator damage and battery failures.
To address this, Shen Gong utilizes premium ultra-fine grade carbide featuring a high-density, low-cobalt matrix. This design achieves a surface finish free of microscopic notches. These wear-resistant edges remain sharp for extended periods, reducing copper/aluminum edge deformation and scrap rates in battery factories.
Corrugated board manufacturing requires continuous, dust-suppressed processing. Modern packaging lines operate at speeds of up to 400 meters per minute. Shear knives must withstand high abrasive wear from recycled paper fibers and silicate glues.
Shen Gong's patented PVD-coated corrugated slitter scorer knives and resharpening systems maintain cutting performance even under constant friction. These blades generate minimal dust during paperboard slitting, reducing air-filtration loads and helping prevent machinery clogging.
Sichuan Shen Gong Carbide Knives Co., Ltd. was established in 1998. Located in southwest of China, Chengdu. Shen Gong is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of cemented carbide industrial knives and blades more than 20 years.
Shen Gong boasts complete production lines for WC-based cemented carbide and TiCN-based cermet for industrial knives and blades, covering the entire process from RTP powder making to finished product.
Since 1998, SHEN GONG has grown from a small workshop with just a handful of employees and a few grinding machines into an ISO9001 certified comprehensive enterprise specializing in the research, production, and sales of Industrial Knives. We maintain our core commitment: providing professional, reliable, and durable industrial knives for global manufacturing.

View DetailsOperating a global manufacturing distribution network requires alignment with international trade and environmental regulations. Sichuan Shen Gong Carbide Knives Co., Ltd. operates in full compliance with ISO 9001 quality management guidelines. Our powder metallurgy and mechanical testing procedures follow ASTM and DIN standards, ensuring that every batch of shear blades satisfies international quality requirements.
We work to support a circular economy. Heavy metals like tungsten (W) and cobalt (Co) are limited resources with high energy-processing footprints. In response, we have established industrial recycling workflows to collect worn carbide tools from our partners. These components are processed to recover raw powders, helping to lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in raw material manufacturing.
Additionally, we supply custom grinding wheels and specialized re-sharpening programs. These processes restore the original edge geometries of used blades, helping our customers prolong tool life, minimize waste, and maintain stable operational budgets.
Professional answers to common engineering questions concerning material selection, wear life optimization, and custom manufacturing processes.
Tungsten carbide exhibits significantly higher hardness (up to 92 HRA) and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steels. While carbide is more brittle and has a higher initial cost, it can extend tool life by 10 to 50 times in high-speed slitting applications. This helps reduce machine downtime and lowers the total cost per cut.
We operate an integrated production process starting from Ready-To-Press (RTP) powder formulation through to the final product. Every step is monitored under our ISO 9001 certified quality control system. Sintering-HIP processing is used to minimize micro-porosity, and automated grinding equipment ensures consistent dimensional tolerances across batches.
Yes. Our engineering team designs custom cutting tools based on customer specifications, technical drawings, or physical samples. We analyze the properties of the target material, mechanical tolerances, and operating speeds to recommend the appropriate carbide grade, edge geometry, and coating configuration.
We provide various PVD/CVD coatings, including TiAlN, TiN, and specialized Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) films. For cutting sticky materials like Li-ion battery electrodes or adhesive packaging tapes, we also offer anti-cohesion surface finishes that help prevent material accumulation on the cutting edge.
You can contact our sales team to arrange services. We offer custom grinding wheels and professional re-sharpening programs to restore original edge geometry.
