Tungsten Carbide

Tungsten carbide is made from carbon and tungsten. It is harder than steel and cut at higher temperatures. It also cut very accurately at high speeds, resulting in higher productivity. Tungsten carbide cuts abrasive materials, such as cast iron, glass and ceramics more effectively than steel.

Tungsten carbide is more expensive than steel tools or carbide-tipped drills. Tungsten carbide measures a nine on Moh's hardness scale, meaning it is about as hard as corundum, but not as hard as diamond. In addition, tungsten carbide is brittle and must be used in a rigid, stable setup that minimizes vibration and movement. Tungsten carbide also requires a steady temperature or the tools may fracture. Flood coolant can keep carbide cool.
