FAQ
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.
Q&A in the same category in this question
-
What is the main component of cemented carbide?
The main component is tungsten carbide (WC), which becomes cemented carbide after bonding with metallic binders such as cobalt and nickel.
Additives such as chromium (Cr) are added to these alloys to create cemented carbides with various characteristics. -
What is the difference between cemented carbide and cermet?
Both cemented carbide and cermet are composite materials made by mixing and sintering carbide or nitride powders with a metallic binder.
However, whereas cemented carbides are made of tungsten carbide (WC), the main component, bonded mainly with cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni),
Cermet is made by bonding titanium compounds such as titanium carbide (TiC) and titanium carbide nitride (TiCN) with nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co).
In other words, the difference between cemented carbide and cermet is the main component. -
Are there any changes due to thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is based on the amount of Co. Lower Co levels lead to higher conductivity.
Generally, higher conductivity means that heat escapes well and frictional heat can be controlled.
