What Are the Common Problems with Cemented Carbide?

The following common problems may be encountered during the manufacturing and use of cemented carbide:

  1. Susceptible to thermal expansion: Cemented carbide is prone to thermal expansion problems during high temperature and cooling processes. The main reason is that the thermal expansion coefficient of cemented carbide is larger than that of ordinary metals, which means that in high temperature environments, cemented carbide is prone to deformation. , resulting in a decrease in workpiece machining accuracy. Therefore, when choosing to use cemented carbide, it is necessary to consider its stability in high-temperature environments and carry out appropriate controls to ensure machining accuracy and workpiece quality.
  2. Higher price: Compared with other engineering materials, the price of cemented carbide is higher, which is also one of its disadvantages. The preparation cost of cemented carbide is relatively high and requires special preparation processes such as high temperature and high pressure, so its price is also relatively expensive. However, cemented carbide has high performance indicators and service life, and is widely used in high-end manufacturing fields.
  3. Too high hardness and difficult to process: The hardness of cemented carbide is very high, so it is difficult to process and requires the use of special processing equipment and processes. At the same time, problems such as cracks and chipping may occur during the processing, and corresponding process measures need to be taken to prevent and solve them.
  4. Sensitive to environmental factors: Carbide is sensitive to environmental factors, such as humidity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. These factors may cause oxidation, corrosion and other problems. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen protection during use to avoid contact between cemented carbide and these factors.
  5. Large differences between different types: There are many types of cemented carbide, and different types of cemented carbide have different properties and application fields. For example, different types of cemented carbide have differences in strength, hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, etc., so it is necessary to select the appropriate cemented carbide according to specific application scenarios.

In short, cemented carbide may encounter some problems during the manufacturing and use process, and it is necessary to strengthen management and maintenance during use to avoid unnecessary losses and safety issues. At the same time, it is also necessary to select appropriate carbide types and specifications according to specific application scenarios to ensure that they can meet actual needs.
