FAQ
What is the difference between cemented carbide and HSS?
Cemented carbide is an alloy with high hardness, heat resistance and strength. HSS, on the other hand, generally has relatively lower strength and heat resistance, but has higher impact resistance.
As their raw materials and manufacturing methods differ, there is a significant difference in costs between the two materials.
Selecting the suitable material is recommended though considering the application and the timing of replacement after installation.
Q&A in the same category in this question
-
Why is there a 50% change in volume?
Carbide is a material made by compacting powder during sintering, and there are some gaps inside the carbide where air and particles collide.
Through sintering, the cobalt liquefies, and a 50% reduction in volume occurs when tungsten particles are attracted due to the capillary phenomenon. The contacting surfaces of different powdered particles try to mix and homogenize, inducing the atoms to move in an attempt to create new compounds. -
What is the hardness of cemented carbides?
Generally, hardness can range from HRA88 to HRA92.
Higher hardness increases wearing resistance, but decreases impact resistance making it more prone to chipping. -
What are the advantages of using cemented carbide tools?
As cemented carbide is characterized by its resistance to loss of hardness at high temperatures, its performance is not easily deteriorated even when used for machining at high speed that cause tools to have high temperatures.
