Tungsten carbide is a hard metal that is used in manufacturing cutting tools and wear-resistant parts like molds. It can be combined with other metals to produce other types of carbides. One example of this combination is tungsten carbide-cobalt which is the most popular Tungsten carbide alloy with the combination of hard material tungsten carbide and binder material cobalt.<\/p>\r\n
Tungsten carbide is manufactured by a series of production processes like powder mixing, pressing, sintering, and so on. During the sintering process, the binder material like cobalt will melt and help the mixing and binding of the tungsten carbide to increase the compaction and density of the final alloy.<\/p>\r\n
Tungsten carbide is one of the best candidates for recycling. While it is a very valuable metal, it can also be a source of scrap. For example, scrap tungsten carbide can be melted down and refined to form new pieces of tungsten carbide.<\/p>\r\n
We are going to talk about 6 key material parameters of tungsten carbide. Academically, cemented carbide is an alloy material with extremely high hardness and good wear resistance, which is made of tungsten carbide powder (hardened phase) of high hardness refractory metal as the main component and metals such as cobalt and nickel (bonding phase) as the binder, through ball milling, pressing and sintering. We can simply understand it as a metal material with high hardness and good wear resistance. Tungsten carbide is typically specified for physical properties, but its chemical compatibility can vary depending on the metal binder. Nickel-bound tungsten carbide, for instance, is more resistant to corrosion than cobalt-bound tungsten carbide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
According to the relevant parameters of physics, the mechanical properties of cemented carbide are mainly shown in the following material parameters:<\/p>\r\n
The hardness of Tungsten Carbide is a function of its density, or how much of a material’s mass is contained in a unit volume. The SI unit for this property is kilograms per cubic meter, and the English unit is pounds per cubic foot. For a cubic inch of Tungsten Carbide, its density is 14.5 g\/cm3. And for different grades of tungsten carbide-cobalt alloy, the density can vary from 13-15g\/cm^3. And the hardness can go from HRA86 to HRA95 which is one of the hardest materials in the world, second only to diamond.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The bending strength of cemented carbide is lower than that of high-speed steel. Even YG8 cemented carbide with high bending strength has only about half of that of high-speed steel. The higher the cobalt content in cemented carbide, the higher its strength. With the same cobalt content, the bending strength of WC tic Co alloy decreases with the increase of TiC content. In addition to the types of carbides, the size of WC grains also affects the strength of cemented carbide. The bending strength of coarse-grained cemented carbide is higher than that of medium grain cemented carbide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
