Oliver Carbide Products is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in engineered tungsten-carbide tools and components for demanding industrial applications.

For over 60 years, we’ve developed proprietary tungsten-carbide tooth structures that control how materials interact — whether the goal is to quickly remove material, create mechanical grip, or protect components from wear.

Instead of relying on conventional abrasives or surface coatings, we build individually formed tungsten-carbide teeth that are permanently bonded to steel and designed for long-term performance.

Applications

With an extensive range of engineered tungsten-carbide solutions, we deliver performance advantages that conventional materials and surface technologies cannot achieve. This allows us to support a wide variety of industries and applications where reliability, control, and long-term performance matter most.

Tungsten carbide provides grip against metal

Gripping & Traction

Engineered carbide surfaces for gripping, driving, and force transmission across metals, polymers, rubber, and wood.

Used in applications such as:

  • Gripping and clamping devices
  • Feed rollers and drive surfaces
  • Material handling and conveying systems
  • Anti-slip and traction surfaces
  • Industrial fixtures and positioning components

MATERIAL SHAPING & GRINDING

Structured carbide surfaces for controlled material removal and surface preparation in rubber, wood, composites, polymers, and soft stone.

Used in applications such as:

  • Tire buffing and repair
  • Rubber roller grinding and surface preparation
  • Wood carving and detailing
  • Rubber and polymer shaping
  • Composite and fiberglass materials
Tungsten carbide provides wear protection from mineral

Wear Protection

Carbide wear surfaces for protection against glass fibers, minerals, and abrasive bulk materials in wet or dry environments.

Used in applications such as:

  • Glass fiber and composite processing
  • Mineral and bulk materials handling
  • Wet and dry abrasive environments
  • High-wear industrial parts and surfaces
