As the second-largest city in South Sudan and a vital hub for the Upper Nile region, Malakal is undergoing critical structural rebuilding. From the construction of commercial complexes to the fabrication of local agricultural grain silos and corrugated metal roofing, sheet metal fabrication has become a foundational pillar of the municipal recovery framework.
However, running high-speed roll forming and metal slitting machinery in Malakal presents severe challenges:
Sichuan Shen Gong’s ultra-fine cemented carbide knives address these specific issues, delivering up to 5 to 10 times the operating life of standard high-speed steel (HSS) blades, mitigating down-time and maintenance cycles.
In global manufacturing, the shift toward lightweight, high-strength alloys (such as AHSS and thin-gauge aluminum foils) demands tighter slitting tolerances and superior tool materials. Standard tool steel blades degrade rapidly under high shear stresses, resulting in burred edges and material deformation.
Modern slitting systems utilize powder metallurgy (PM) steels, titanium-carbon-nitride (TiCN) cermets, and specialized coatings to prolong run times. Our factory in Chengdu integrates RTP (Ready-to-Press) powder preparation, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) sintering, and precision grinding, positioning our tools at the forefront of global metalworking technology.
With over 25 years of research, development, and high-precision manufacturing, Shen Gong has grown from a specialized workshop into a global supplier of industrial cutting blades. Operating out of Chengdu, China, we manage the complete production cycle of WC-based cemented carbide and TiCN-based cermet materials.
Our commitment goes beyond simply fabricating blades. We partner with design and procurement departments globally to analyze slitting geometries, wear dynamics, and material chemistry to deliver bespoke solutions for packaging, metal machining, battery electrodes, and structural sheet metal processing.

For plant managers and procurement teams, selecting the right blade material involves balancing initial purchase cost against long-term operational performance. The table below outlines the differences between standard tool steel and our engineered tungsten carbide formulations:
| Performance Parameter | Standard Tool Steel (D2 / HSS) | Shen Gong Carbide (WC + Co) | Shen Gong TiCN Cermet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardness (HRA) | 58 - 62 HRC | 89 - 92.5 HRA | 91.5 - 93.5 HRA |
| Compressive Strength (MPa) | ~ 2,200 | 4,500 - 5,800 | 3,800 - 4,600 |
| Edge Lifespan Multiplier | Baseline (1x) | 5x - 10x Longer Life | 8x - 12x (Specialized Applications) |
| Primary Wear Mode | Plastic deformation & abrasive wear | Micro-chipping (under severe impact) | Adhesive wear and thermal oxidation |
