The advancement of technology in metallurgy, petroleum drilling, mining tools, and the rapid development of nuclear energy, has greatly increased the demand for high-quality and high-stability tungsten carbide parts and carbide products.
The classification of tungsten carbide
Classified by composition
Tungsten Cobalt Cemented Carbide
The main components are tungsten carbide (WC) and binder cobalt (Co).
The grade is composed of “YG” and the percentage of the average cobalt content. For example, YG8 means that the average WCo=8%, and the rest is tungsten-cobalt cemented carbide.
General tungsten-cobalt alloys are mainly used in carbide tools, molds and geological products.
Tungsten Titanium Cobalt Cemented Carbide
The main components are tungsten carbide, titanium carbide (TiC) and cobalt. The grade consists of “YT” and the percentage of the average content of titanium carbide. For example, YT15 means that the average TiC=15% and the rest is tungsten carbide and cobalt.
Tungsten Titanium Tantalum (niobium) Carbide
The main components are tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide (or niobium carbide) and cobalt. This kind of cemented carbide is also called general cemented carbide or universal cemented carbide.
Its grade name is composed of “YW” with a sequence number, such as YW1.
Classified by shape
Spheroid
Tungsten carbide balls are mainly composed of high-hardness, refractory metal carbide (WC, TiC) micron powders. Commonly cemented carbides include YG, YN, YT, and YW series.
Carbide ball
The commonly used carbide balls are mainly including grades of YG6， YG6x, YG8, YG13, YG20, YN6, YN12, YT5, YT15.
Rod
The main characteristics of carbide rods are stable mechanical properties, easy welding, high wear resistance and high impact resistance.
tungsten carbide rod
Advantages
1. Good wear resistance;
2. Good corrosion resistance;
3. High toughness;
4. Extrusion method and HIP sintering.
Applications
Tungsten carbide rods are mainly used for drills, end mills, and reamers. It can also be applicable for cutting, stamping and measuring tools. It is used in papermaking, packaging, printing, and non-ferrous metal processing industries. In addition, it is also widely suitable to process high-speed steel tools, cemented carbide milling cutters, carbide cutters, NAS cutting tools, aviation tools, carbide drill bits, milling cutter core bits, tapered milling cutters, metric milling cutter, micro end milling cutter, reaming pilot, electronic cutter, step drill, metal cutting, rotary file, etc.
Plate
The carbide plate has good durability and strong impact resistance and can be used in hardware and standard stamping dies.
