Wire drawing dies The wire drawing process involves drawing wire of a larger diameter through a die with a smaller diameter bore. This reduces the diameter of the wire to produce the desired size and tolerance of the wire, while the volume remains the same. Wires are sized by drawing them through a series of wire […]
About cemented carbide Cemented carbide is a kind of very hard and wear resistant material produced with powder metallurgy, it is normally referred to as hard metal in Europe. Cemented carbide consists of hard phase (such as WC, TiC, TaC, VC and Cr3Cr2) and metal binding phase (such as Co, Ni and Fe, etc.). It […]
Which elements make difference to tungsten carbide grades Straight tungsten carbide grades: containing only tungsten carbide and cobalt, are the strongest and most wear-resistant. Generally they are used for machining cast iron and nonmetals. The size of the tungsten carbide particles and the percentage of cobalt used determine the qualities of tungsten carbide tools: The […]
