Tungsten Carbide and Its Role in Extending Tool Life and Performance
Made up largely of tungsten carbide (WC) particles bound with a metal binder, such as cobalt, cemented carbide combines the strength of tungsten with the strength of other metals. The make-up of cemented carbides can be customized to fit certain applications, leading to the manufacturing of varieties like YG6, YG15, and YG20 tungsten carbide.The te
