Carbide Tool toughness and hardness
In the hardware tool, no matter what the product needs to pay attention to what the material toughness and hardness, for example, we used relatively common carbide cutting tools.
Carbide Tool has unique advantages in both hardness and toughness. Tungsten carbide (WC) itself has high hardness (more than corundum, or aluminum oxide), and at elevated operating temperatures rarely drop its hardness. However, it lacks sufficient toughness, which is essential for the cutting tool performance. In order to take advantage of the high hardness of tungsten carbide, and to improve its toughness, people use the metal-bonded tungsten carbide together, so that it not only has a hardness far exceeding high-speed steel, but also able to withstand the most Machining cutting forces. In addition, it can withstand high cutting temperatures generated by high-speed machining.
Today, almost all of carbide cutting tools and blade coating are used, therefore, the role of the matrix material seem less important. But in fact, (triple measure stiffness index, elastic modulus at room temperature is about high-speed steel) high modulus of elasticity is the material for the coating provides no deformation of the substrate. Matrix also provides the required toughness. The basic characteristics of these properties are the materials, but can also be in the production of cemented carbide powder by adjusting the material composition and material properties tailored microstructures. Therefore, the specific process tool performance and suitability depends largely on the initial milling process.
Changzhou too good tool is a professional manufacturer of carbide cutting tools manufacturers, has always been our focus on research, not only to produce high-quality products, quality service is first class.
