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.

What is the difference between cemented carbide and ceramics?
The hardness of ceramics approaches that of diamond, the hardest mineral on earth. If the hardness of diamond is 10, ceramics exhibit a hardness of 9 or higher, which is harder than tungsten and other hard metals. The difference in composition also results in a heavier weight in the case of cemented carbides. However, cemented carbides can be made with various characteristics depending on tungsten carbide (WC) particle size, the amount of bonding material, and additives, so it is possible to select the most suitable grade for the application from a wide range of available grades.

What is the relationship between hardness and strength?
Hardness affects resistance to abrasion, and harder the material the more resistant it is to abrasion.
However, amount of abrasion is not only determined by hardness, but could be affected by adhesions caused by workpieces of certain materials.
Thickness also affects the life of material, and so the environment and manufacturing process must be taken into consideration when selecting cemented carbide grade.
There are many factors related to strength, such as transverse rupture strength, impact strength, fracture toughness value and others, therefore material selection must be made in consideration of these factors. -
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.
