介绍
Tungsten carbide cutting tools are essential in modern manufacturing. They are hard, strong, and long-lasting, which makes them perfect for cutting metals, wood, composites, and more. This guide will help you understand the different types of tungsten carbide tools, how they are used, and which one is best for your job.
If you are working in CNC machining, woodworking, mining, oil & gas, or any other industry that needs reliable cutting tools, this article is for you.
什么是碳化钨？
Tungsten carbide is a material made by combining tungsten (W) and carbon (C). It is extremely hard—much harder than steel—and keeps its shape even under high pressure and heat.
Tools made from tungsten carbide last longer and cut more precisely than regular steel tools. They are also resistant to wear, heat, and breakage.
You can learn more about this material in our Carbide Tools Technical Glossary.
Why Use Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools?
Here are the key benefits of tungsten carbide cutting tools:
Long tool life
High cutting speed
Precise finish
Less downtime
Lower maintenance costs
Work well on hard materials
Because of these benefits, carbide tools are used in many industries around the world.
Common Types of Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools
Below is a list of the most common types of tungsten carbide cutting tools, their shapes, and their uses:
1. Carbide Inserts
Carbide inserts are small cutting pieces used in turning, milling, and drilling tools. They are replaceable, which makes them cost-effective.
Shape: Triangle, square, diamond
Use: CNC lathes, turning, facing, grooving
Benefits: Easy to change, strong, high-speed cutting
