Tungsten carbide is an inorganic chemical compound which contains
numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms. Tungsten carbide, also known
as “cemented carbide”, “hard alloy” or “hardmetal”, is a kind of
metallurgic material which contains tungsten carbide powder
(chemical formula: WC) and other binder (cobalt, nickel. etc.).
It can be pressed and formed into customized shapes, can be grinded
with precision, and can be welded with or grafted to other metals.
Various types and grades of carbide can be designed as required for
use in application intended, including chemical industry, oil & gas
and marine as mining and cutting tools, mould and die, wear parts,
etc
Tungsten carbide is widely used in industrial machinery, wear
resistant tools and anti-corrosion.
Tungsten carbide burs are small cutting tools used for cutting,
drilling, grinding, and surface finishing. They are made of
tungsten carbide, which is extremely hard and work in high speed to
get the precise cutting edges. Often used in CNC machining, dental
drill and material de-burring.
Tungsten carbide burs are 3 times stiffer than steel. Because
Tungsten Carbide is such a hard material it is able to maintain
sharpness, making it a highly effective cutting tool. Carbide burs
cut and chip away the tooth structure rather than grinding as
diamond burs do, this leaves a much smoother finish. It’s widely
used for power and air tools.
Carbide burrs are widely used for metalwork, tool making,
engineering, model engineering, wood carving, jewellery making,
welding, chamferring, casting, deburring, grinding, cylinder head
porting and sculpting. And are used in the aerospace, automotive,
dental, stone and metal sculpting, and metal smith industries to
name but a few.
