FAQ
What are the effects of corrosion?
We checked a cemented carbide made 20 years ago, and verified 20 microns worth of corrosion.
Only the surface was corroded, so we were able to remove it by reprocessing it.
However, there are cases where some corrosion cannot be removed due to working environments, so we recommend regrinding if the corrosion is 0.1mm or greater. If storing after regrinding, ensure that all processing liquids have been removed and dried. Apply the carbide with rust preventive oil or paper, or cover in alumina powder.

How do you store cemented carbide products?
For cemented carbide materials:
Storing at room temperature is fine. (Less than 300 in Celsius, as cobalt oxidizes at that temperature)
Humidity will leads to rusting, so we recommend storing the materials in an area with low humidity.
For complete metal molds:
Cemented Carbide corrosion can occur from grinding fluid, lubricating liquid, or other liquids.
If the grinding or lapping surface is not stored properly, corrosion may occur.
Store using a rust preventive oil or paper. -
刃物に使われている超硬とは何ですか?
被加工材やその厚みなどによって選択すべき超硬合金の材質は変わりますが、一般的に刃物として使用する場合は、
切れ味重視や、チッピング対策を考えて、タングステンカーバイド(WC)の粒子を細かくした超微粒子超硬合金を
選定することが多くあります。 -
超硬合金の弱点は何ですか?
一般的な鉄合金と比較すると、靱性(ねばり強さ)が低く、刃先が欠けてしまう・剥離するといったような現象が起こることがあります。
また、比重が鉄の約2倍ありますので、重量が重くなることがデメリットとなる場合もあります。
