First Choice: For Universal Application of Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Non-Ferrous, with Variable Depth of Cut and Variable Feed per Revolution at High SFM (Vc), Brittle! Not for interrupted Cut, Wet Working Condition
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.
For general turning applications at a high SFM. Use inserts to cut all non Ferrous materials including Aluminum and Plastic. Inserts have an uncoated, hard, high, abrasive resisant micro-grained substrate with hard cutting edge.
