Why Choose Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools?

Why Choose Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools?

Cemented carbide or tungsten carbide or hard metal is an alloy material made from hard compounds of refractory metals and bonded metals through a powder metallurgy process.

Cemented carbide is widely used as cutting tool materials, such as turning tools, milling cutters, planers, drills, boring cutters, etc., for cutting cast iron, nonferrous metals, plastics, chemical fibers, graphite, glass, stone, and ordinary steel, as well as for cutting refractory materials such as heat resistant steel, stainless steel, high manganese steel, and tool steel.

Our customers make cutting tools from carbide and they often get asked why a customer should choose carbide cutting tools over steel or cobalt cutting tools. Here's why:
➡️ Super Hardness: Tungsten carbide is much harder, which allows it to maintain in a sharp cutting edge for a long time, resulting in a better surface finish and reduced cutting time.

➡️ Heat resistance: Cemented carbide can withstand higher temperatures than high-speed steel, which makes it ideal for high-speed and high-heat cutting applications.

➡️ Toughness: Despite being hard, tungsten carbide also has high toughness, which means it is less likely to break or chip during cutting.

➡️ Good cutting performance: Cemented carbide tools have good cutting performance and can maintain a stable cutting effect during high-speed cutting.

➡️ High accuracy: Cemented carbide tools have high accuracy and can maintain stable cutting effects in high-precision machining.

➡️ Cost saving: Although the price of cemented carbide tools is relatively high, due to their high durability, the frequency of tool replacement can be reduced, thereby saving costs.

Overall, solid carbide cutting tools are more efficient and durable than steel or cobalt cutting tools, making them a better choice for many demanding machining applications.
