Cemented carbide is an alloy made by sintering hard metal carbide powders, such as tungsten carbide and titanium carbide, with iron-based powder metals, cobalt and nickel, and is also called cemented carbide.
As the name, it has high hardness, especially at high temperatures, therefore it is often used for mold parts and metal cutting tools which require wear resistance.
There are different types of cemented carbides according to their characteristics such as wearing resistance, corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and ultra-fine particles, which can be selected according to the application.
