Carbide tools have excellent performance and their current status needs no further explanation. However, there are many types of carbide tools, and some readers only know the characteristics of one or two of them, or rarely think about the differences between them. Therefore, we have collected information on 14 types of carbide tools, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

 

1 Tungsten-cobalt carbide (tungsten steel)

 

Tools made of WC-Co tungsten-cobalt carbide are suitable for processing ordinary steel and stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals (such as copper, aluminum, brass), alloy steel and tool steel, high-hardness materials (such as hardened steel) and other hard and high-strength materials.
