How to Select the Right Carbide Grade?
Choosing the correct tungsten carbide grade is essential for achieving optimal wear resistance, toughness, and performance in your specific application. The right grade ensures longer service life, lower maintenance, and improved efficiency.
1. Understand Your Application Requirements
| Condition | What You Need |
|---|---|
| High Abrasion | Fine grain, high hardness |
| Impact / Shock | More cobalt, higher toughness |
| Corrosive Environment | Nickel binder or anti-corrosion grade |
| Precision Fit | Submicron carbide, tight tolerance |
2. Compare Carbide Grades
| Grade | Co% | Hardness (HRA) | Feature | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YG6X | 6% | ~92.0 | High hardness | Cutting, valves |
| YG8 | 8% | ~90.0 | Balanced toughness | Seal sleeves |
| YG10X | 10% | ~91 | Impact resistant | Plungers |
| YG11C | 11% | ~86 | Maximum toughness | Mining |
