1. The smaller the tungsten carbide particles, the higher the hardness and the more wear-resistant it is.
2. It mainly depends on the usage conditions. The most wear-resistant cemented carbide material may be more brittle, so it may not necessarily be suitable.
3. Cemented carbide is divided into several grades according to hardness and toughness, such as YG8, YG15, etc. Incorrect grade greatly affects service life. The one you are using may be high-speed steel (peak steel) containing a small amount of tungsten, but it is not tungsten carbide.
4. Cemented carbide is made by sintering tungsten carbide as the main component with cobalt or other binder metals using powder metallurgy. Its tungsten content is generally above 80%.
5. Tungsten carbide is a type of cemented carbide. Tungsten carbide is made by adding ferrotungsten as a raw material to molten steel using steelmaking processes. It is also called high-speed steel or tool steel, and its tungsten content is generally 15-25%.
