What does WC refer to in cemented carbides?
Tungsten, titanium and cobalt carbideThe main components are tungsten carbide, titanium carbide (TiC) and cobalt.The grade by "YT" ("hard ti" Pinyin prefix) and the average content of titanium carbide.For example, YT15, which represents average TiC=15%, is tungsten carbide cobalt carbide with the remainder of tungsten carbide and cobalt content.Tungsten, titanium, tantalum (niobium) carbidesIs the main component of tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide (or niobium carbide) and cobalt. This kind of hard alloy is also called universal cemented carbide or universal hard alloy.
Of or relating to an alloying element that is tungsten carbide.Tungsten cobalt carbideThe main ingredients are tungsten carbide (WC) and binder cobalt (Co).The brand is from "YG" ("hard cobalt" Pinyin prefix) composition and percentage of average amount of cobalt.For example, YG8, a tungsten cobalt carbide represented by an average WCo=8% and the remainder of tungsten carbide.
Refers to: tungsten carbide powder, is the main raw material for the production of cemented carbide, chemical formula WC. Full name: tungsten carbide powder is black, six square crystal, has metallic luster, hardness is similar to diamond, it is good conductor of electricity and heat.
