What Is Difference Between Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tools and Ordinary Cutting Tools?

The difference between tungsten carbide cutting tools and ordinary cutting tools is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  1. Hardness: The hardness of tungsten carbide cutting tools is much higher than that of ordinary cutting tools. Its hardness range is generally between 70-90HRA, while the hardness of ordinary cutting tools is between Rockwell hardness HRC58~62. This high hardness makes tungsten carbide tools more suitable when processing high-hardness materials, which can maintain the sharpness and cutting performance of the cutting edge of the tool.
  2. Wear resistance: Due to the high hardness of tungsten carbide cutting tools, they have good wear resistance. Wear is an unavoidable problem during high-speed machining, but tungsten carbide cutting tools wear less than other inserts and can extend their service life.
  3. Strength and toughness: Tungsten carbide cutting tools have high strength and high toughness, can withstand large cutting forces during processing, and have a wider range of applications. In addition, tungsten carbide cutting tools also have good impact resistance and thermal fatigue resistance.
  4. Service life: Due to the high hardness and wear resistance of tungsten carbide cutting tools, they have a longer service life during use. During the processing process, the number of tool changes can be reduced and production efficiency improved.
  5. Cutting performance: Tungsten carbide cutting tools have good cutting performance, especially during high-speed cutting, and can well control the cutting force and heat generated, thereby achieving higher processing efficiency.

The price of tungsten carbide cutting tools is relatively high. For some special-purpose occasions, its cost and performance-price ratio need to be fully considered. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the correct usage and maintenance during use to ensure its accuracy and service life.
