What are Tungsten Carbide Tools Used For?

1. Machining. Machinists frequently use tungsten carbide tools to machine other hard metals, such as stainless steel. When they are manufacturing machine parts, the material that they are constructed from must be hard and resistant to wear. This makes milling or machining these metals that much more difficult, and, as such, must choose a material harder than the material to be machined. Tungsten carbide fits this bill perfectly.

2. High Production. When producing a large number of units in an industrial setting, the mechanisms that are stamping or machining the parts should be long-lasting and resistant to wear. For this reason, even when the machined material is not particularly difficult to work with, use tungsten carbide due to its longevity. It is subject to chipping, however, and is frequently coated with another material.

3. High-Speed Tools. In industrial applications where tools will be used at a high rate of speed, high temperatures inherently follow. Tungsten carbide is resistant to extremely high temperatures, making it ideal for situations where tools and mechanisms are needed to perform in these high-heat applications. This makes them useful for grinding tools and metal milling bits.

4. Torch and Welding Tips. Tungsten carbide is used for acetylene and other torching applications where you need a material that can retain its properties under constant exposure to flame. It is also useful in welding applications where a metal is exposed to high heat but cannot bond to the material being welded.
