New Era of Tungsten Carbide as Cutting Material

In recent years, all kinds of new cutting tools that were launched by the manufacturer of cutters have caught people’s attention in hardware machine tool exhibition. In order to reach the goal and lay a foundation for long-term development of “twelfth five-year”, importance of hardware industries should be attached to product structure adjustment, diamond cutter innovation and industry restructuring.

Experts believed that tungsten carbide used as cutting materials would create a new era. Compared with the high speed steel, tungsten carbide performs better properties and owns higher cutting efficiency. It is an important guarantee to realize efficient process of modern cutting technology when it combined with super hard materials. Now, the proportion of tungsten carbide cutting tool in our country reaches 40%, far below the level of developed country, which has seriously restricted the improvement of cutter products? Better cutting materials, more solid foundation for the adjustment of cutting tools. Without better cutting materials, the reform of increasing proportion of cutting material would not be achieved. Therefore, tungsten carbide as cutting material would be catalyst for the reformation of cutting industries.

Tungsten Carbide Inserts

The inserts are sorted as clamped inserts, wood-cutting tools, milling & turning inserts, etc. Many inserts for mining tools are made of tungsten carbide. Mining and tunneling cutting tools are fitted with Cemented Carbide tips so it is called "Button Bits". Only man-made diamond may replace the Cemented Carbide buttons when conditions are ideal, but as rock drilling is a tough task. Tungsten carbide inserts remain the most used type throughout the world.

Tungsten Carbide Blade on Wise Geek

Trekking poles used by hikers, for instance, use carbide tips in order to gain traction on hard or rocky surfaces. Several common consumer goods contain tungsten carbide, including razor blades and the rotating tips of ballpoint pens. It has also become increasingly common for it to be used in men's wedding bands.

Moissan had set out to create diamonds, but his experiments led to the development of a porous, brittle version of modern tungsten-carbide. The Germans Karl Schroeter and Heinrich Baumhauef discovered that the material could be made stronger and more appropriate for industrial uses, such as cutting, with the addition of cobalt.

What are Carbide Tips?

With something like a carbide-tipped saw blade, the main body of the blade is made of steel. The small tips of carbide are brazed on to the body. A good carbide tip might hold an edge ten to twenty times longer than a tool steel tip.

Carbide tips do get dull eventually. You sharpen them using the same techniques you would use with tool steel, but because they are so hard, you use a different abrasive. Something coated in diamond or a carbide abrasive wheel is common.
