Tungsten Carbide - Introduction

Tungsten carbide,or tungsten cemented carbide is sometimes colloquially referred to as simply "carbide." Its general definition is described as: tungsten cemented carbide is an inorganic chemical compound which contains equal numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms.Tungsten cemented cabride can be pressed and formed into shapes from fine gray powder, which is considered to be its most basic form. The applications of tungsten cemented carbide are widely reflected in industrial machinery, tungsten carbide cutting tools, wear resistent tools, abrasives as well as men' s jewelry.

Tungsten Carbide - Main Property

• Excellent Hardness: 86~93 HRA, which equal to 68~81HRC;
• Excellent hot working performance: Hardness could be remained at 60 HRC under 900~1000 ℃
• Excellent wear resistance;
• High cutting speed;
• Long service life

Tungsten Carbide - Application

Tungsten carbide cutting tools, made of tungsten carbide material are commonly used for industrial application, in order to improve working performance. Cemented carbide are often used for machining through materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as high-quantity production runs. Tungsten carbide cutting tools generally produces a better finish on the part, and allows faster machining. Tungsten carbide cutting tools can also withstand higher temperatures than standard high speed steel tools. The material is usually called tungsten cemented carbide, hardmetal or tungsten-carbide cobalt: it is a metal matrix composite where tungsten carbide particles are the aggregate and metallic cobalt serves as the matrix.
