What Are Advantages And Disadvantages of Cemented Carbide Compared to Diamond?

Carbide and diamond each have advantages and disadvantages in terms of hardness.

The advantage of cemented carbide is that it has high hardness, high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in cutting, drilling, turning, milling and other industrial and technological fields. In addition, the price of cemented carbide is relatively low and has a high cost performance.

However, compared to diamond, the hardness of cemented carbide is still inferior. Diamond is the hardest substance currently known, with a hardness of over 10,000HV, which is more than 10 times that of cemented carbide. At the same time, diamond also has the advantages of high thermal conductivity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, diamond is more widely used in some high-precision cutting, grinding, drilling and other industrial and technological fields.

To sum up, cemented carbide and diamond have their own characteristics in terms of hardness. Carbide has the advantages of high hardness and wear resistance, but it is still slightly inferior to diamond. Diamond is the hardest substance currently known and has extremely high wear resistance and high temperature resistance. Therefore, it is more widely used in some high-precision industrial and technological fields.
