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.

Why does the amount of Co and WC particle size affect the thickness of the heat affected layer?
It is thought that when Co is in large quantities the fusing point is lowered, which increases the amount that melts and thickening the damaged layer.
It is also thought that when WC particle size is small, the material becomes easier to melt due to the volume effect, which thickens the damaged layer. -
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. -
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.
