Carbide refers to a compound made from carbon and another element, usually tungsten. Carbide is used to make tools, such as drills and drill bits, because it is extremely strong. Solid carbide tools are made completely of carbide.
Solid Carbide's Features
Solid carbide tools are harder than steel and cut at higher temperatures. They also cut very accurately at high speeds, resulting in higher productivity. Solid carbide cuts abrasive materials, such as cast iron, glass and ceramics more effectively than steel.
