What kinds of carbides are there? How should we choose in production?
There are three kinds of cemented carbides commonly used: tungsten carbide cobalt carbide (YG), tungsten cobalt titanium carbide (YT) and general cemented carbide (YW).Because of high hardness and good hardness, cemented carbide is suitable for making cutters.
Basically divided into four major categories: YG, YW, YS, YT.YG is cast iron, nonferrous metal, base alloy steel.YW is made of stainless steel and base alloy steel.YS is the finishing of high strength steel, steel and cast steel.YT is the rough processing of steel and cast steel.
Tungsten cobalt carbide (YG): suitable for brittle materials such as cast iron;Tungsten cobalt titanium carbide (YT): it is suitable for processing plastic materials, such as steel;General purpose cemented carbide (YW): commonly used for processing stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, high manganese steel and other difficult to process materials.
