Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools Properties

Catalysts e g tungsten oxides sulfides and heteropoly complexes.

Tungsten carbide cutting tools properties.

Tungsten carbide properties from the book building superior brazed tools buy the book the following is a list of tungsten carbide properties. However we will discuss about metal cutting here. Different grades of tungsten carbide will differ in strength rigidity and other properties but all tungsten carbide material falls into the basic properties listed below. And dyes and pigments e g organic tungsten 1 may.

Without these additives when cutting ferrous materials the tungsten carbide tool may experience a chemical reaction between the tool and the chips of the work piece that leaves craters in the tool. Filaments e g tungsten metal and alloys. Tungsten carbide wc one of the most widely used cutting tool material in modern machine shops. We ll compare it against the most well known metals as follows.

Other materials such as titanium carbide tantalum carbide and niobium carbide are added to improve the properties of the material when cutting. Carbide is usually superior for the cutting of tough materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel cast iron titanium alloys as well as in situations where other cutting tools would wear away faster such as high quantity production runs to give you an idea of it s properties. Thin films e g tungsten disulfide. However it lacks sufficient toughness which is an essential property for cutting tools.
