FAQ
What are the advantages of using cemented carbide tools?
As cemented carbide is characterized by its resistance to loss of hardness at high temperatures, its performance is not easily deteriorated even when used for machining at high speed that cause tools to have high temperatures.

What kind of cemented carbide is used as cutting tools?
The material of cemented carbide to be selected depends on the workpiece and its thickness, etc. In general, for use as a cutting tool, ultrafine grain cemented carbide, which consists of ultrafine tungsten carbide (WC) particles, is often selected to increase cutting ability and to prevent chipping.

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. -
Why is there a 50% change in volume?
Carbide is a material made by compacting powder during sintering, and there are some gaps inside the carbide where air and particles collide.
Through sintering, the cobalt liquefies, and a 50% reduction in volume occurs when tungsten particles are attracted due to the capillary phenomenon. The contacting surfaces of different powdered particles try to mix and homogenize, inducing the atoms to move in an attempt to create new compounds.
