Tungsten carbide cutting tool, as a kind of high-performance and super-hard cutting tool, has made great contribution to the development of manufacturing industry in China. However, in view of the great demands from the manufacturing industry, there are still some problems that need to be solved by the whole cutting tool industry, which lie in product structure adjustment, industry transformation and tool innovation. Further developments must be achieved in these three aspects to lay a foundation for the further development in both cutting tool industry and manufacturing industry.

 

I. Product structure adjustment

Nowadays, tungsten carbide material has been in a dominant position among the cutting tool materials. Compared to high-speed steel material, tungsten carbide material is of better properties and higher cutting efficiency. However, tungsten carbide cutting tool production accounts for only 40% of the total amount of cutting tool production in China, which is much lower than that of the industrial developed countries. Without good cutting tool materials, any innovation in cutters and breakthrough in cutting technology would lack material base. To solve this problem fundamentally, the product structure in this industry needs to be adjusted. Therefore, Chinese government needs to help accelerate the construction of the research % development production base of tungsten carbide material and cutting tools.

 

II. Industry transformation. 

In recent years, China’s cutting tool industry has remained a fast growth but with a majority of low-end products. In addition, some cutting tool manufacturers produce inferior products at the cost of environment with cheap labor power. Therefore, industry transformation has to be done without hesitation.
