As one of the super-hard carbide cutting tools, widely used in the production processing and manufacturing, is a powerful modern industrial cutting tool, it is wealth creation tool for social and economic development. As a tool material, invention and application of carbide make human ability to transform nature increased exponentially, but based on the suitability of the material, how to choose the best carbide tool material, to achieve the best value is to improve the work the best way to efficiency.
Classification of carbide cutting tools for more detailed material, commonly used in carbide WC (WC) as the main ingredient, along with other rare elements suitable for the formation of different properties of carbide products. How to choose the best carbide tool material, specific materials are classified as follows:

1. tungsten carbide cobalt (YG Series)
By WC and Co composition, with high flexural strength and toughness, good thermal conductivity, cutting sharp, mainly for machining cast iron and non-ferrous metals. Fine grain tungsten cobalt carbide in the cobalt amount is the same, the hardness wear resistance than the coarse grain tungsten carbide cobalt is higher, strength and toughness somewhat less suitable for processing hard cast iron. Among the most widely used YG8 carbide, carbide Balm has said, YG8 carbide containing 8% cobalt alloy commonly used, but also the most widely used cutting tools carbide materials.

2. tungsten carbide cobalt titanium class (YT series)
Because of TiC (titanium carbide) hardness and high melting point than the WC, so and tungsten-cobalt alloy compared to its hardness, wear resistance, red hardness increases, bonding temperature, strong antioxidant capacity, can reduce the bond. But poor thermal conductivity, low flexural strength, toughness suitable for machining steel and other materials. Commonly used YT5, YT15 type alloy welding blade, blade-based solder.

3. tantalum, tungsten, titanium carbide cobalt (YW series)
YT class on the basis of the added carbide TaC (tantalum carbide), improved flexural strength, impact toughness, high-temperature hardness, antioxidant capacity and wear resistance. Both can be processed steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals can be processed. Currently used mainly for machining difficult materials heat-resistant steel, high manganese steel, stainless steel. YW series of carbide cutting tools to clamp blade, blade-based welding, cutting knife tablets are also commonly used.

Science and technology as the primary productive forces, is the greatest force advancing social and economic development, the impact on the development of a far-reaching industrial carbide, carbide tool material from the original basic development direction diversification, meticulous, sophisticated, high-end development of. Carbide cutting tools intended use better quality, and promote the role of manufacturing production and processing more apparent.
