Cutting Edge Definition

Cemented carbides are a class of hard materials used extensively for cutting tools, as well as in other industrial applications. It consists of fine particles of carbide cemented into a composite by a binder metal. Cemented carbides commonly use tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), or tantalum carbide (TaC) as the aggregate. Mentions of "carbide" or "tungsten carbide" in industrial contexts usually refer to these cemented composites. The cobalt content could vary from 5% to 23% base on application. 8% to 12% are the most common for cutting tools. Ruthenium is used to replace cobalt as a perfered binder for the best cutting performance.

Grade and Coating Description

Good performance when machining Carbon Steel & Alloy Steel. PVD coatings have properties such as toughness, low coefficient of friction and excellent welding wear and heat resistance. A fusion of the separate coating technologies, PVD and multi-layering, realizes extra toughness. Excellent welding resistance due to low coefficient of friction. Multi-layering of the coating prevents any cracks penetrating through to the substrate.
