FAQ
What are the effects of corrosion?
We checked a cemented carbide made 20 years ago, and verified 20 microns worth of corrosion.
Only the surface was corroded, so we were able to remove it by reprocessing it.
However, there are cases where some corrosion cannot be removed due to working environments, so we recommend regrinding if the corrosion is 0.1mm or greater. If storing after regrinding, ensure that all processing liquids have been removed and dried. Apply the carbide with rust preventive oil or paper, or cover in alumina powder.
Q&A in the same category in this question
-
What is the hardness of cemented carbides?
Generally, hardness can range from HRA88 to HRA92.
Higher hardness increases wearing resistance, but decreases impact resistance making it more prone to chipping. -
What are the weaknesses of cemented carbides?
Compared to general iron alloys, cemented carbide has lower toughness, which may cause chipping or peeling of the cutting edge.
In addition, as the relative density is about twice that of iron, the heavier weight of cemented carbide may be a disadvantage. -
What is the difference between cemented carbide and HSS?
Cemented carbide is an alloy with high hardness, heat resistance and strength. HSS, on the other hand, generally has relatively lower strength and heat resistance, but has higher impact resistance.
As their raw materials and manufacturing methods differ, there is a significant difference in costs between the two materials.
Selecting the suitable material is recommended though considering the application and the timing of replacement after installation.
