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.
Square Inserts with a Positive Chipformer Exerting Low Cutting Forces for Semi-Finishing and Finishing Applications
A hard substrate with a cobalt enriched layer, CVD coated. Excellent thermal stability and resistance to chipping and plastic deformation. Recommended for high speed machining of steel at stable conditions.
