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.
Double-Sided Square Inserts for General Applications
A very tough substrate with cobalt enriched layer and MTCVD coating and a special SUMOTEC surface treatment. Suitable for machining steels and alloy steels at low to medium cutting speeds and medium to high feeds. Features very high toughness with excellent results in heavy machining, unstable conditions, and interrupted cuts.
