Tungsten Carbide Coated Tools

In earlier time, people usually did mining primarily with pick axes and shovels, which relied on pure manpowere to get the job done. And later, with tools made of steel, cuz steel tools could do better job, and they were susceptible to wear. However, with the development of tungsten carbide industry, tungsten carbide products are widely used in mining work, especially tungsten carbide coated tools.

Then came tungsten carbide tools. Since tools made of tungsten carbide are tougher and more wear-resistant, these tools are able to perform their job faster and for a longer time when compared to steel tools.

The mining industry has one of the highest demands for tools that have high wear-resistant, just like tungsten carbide coated tools, as working in a mine involves cutting through hard rock, often spanning several miles. Having tungsten carbide coated tools that are resistant to wear means the company doesn’t have to replace their tools often, preventing money lost due to down times. Thus, there is a need for tungsten carbide coated tools that do not wear out easily, ensuring continued productivity for longer periods of time.

Mining companies are always on the lookout for more abrasion resistant tools beyond the usual tungsten carbide coated tools. Cemented carbide was developed by combining tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, and cobalt. This combination is even harder than regular carbine, while further improving ordinary tungsten carbine’s heat resistance ability.

Diamond may also be added to the tools, as diamond is the toughest material on the planet, which can easily cut through practically any material.
