FAQ
Why does the amount of Co and WC particle size affect the thickness of the heat affected layer?
It is thought that when Co is in large quantities the fusing point is lowered, which increases the amount that melts and thickening the damaged layer.
It is also thought that when WC particle size is small, the material becomes easier to melt due to the volume effect, which thickens the damaged layer.

What is the difference between cemented carbide and cermet?
Both cemented carbide and cermet are composite materials made by mixing and sintering carbide or nitride powders with a metallic binder.
However, whereas cemented carbides are made of tungsten carbide (WC), the main component, bonded mainly with cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni),
Cermet is made by bonding titanium compounds such as titanium carbide (TiC) and titanium carbide nitride (TiCN) with nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co).
In other words, the difference between cemented carbide and cermet is the main component. -
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. -
Are there any changes due to thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is based on the amount of Co. Lower Co levels lead to higher conductivity.
Generally, higher conductivity means that heat escapes well and frictional heat can be controlled.
