Cemented carbide rods are cemented carbide round rods, also called tungsten steel rods, which are simply tungsten steel round rods or cemented carbide round rods. Cemented carbide is a composite material composed of refractory metal compounds (hard phase) and binder metal (bonding phase) produced by powder metallurgy. Cemented carbide is also called tungsten steel.
Tungsten carbide rod is a new technology and new material. It is mainly used in the manufacture of metal cutting tools, and the manufacture of products with hardness and wear resistance and corrosion resistance required for wood and plastics.
The main characteristics of cemented carbide rods are stable mechanical properties, easy welding, high wear resistance and high impact resistance.
Several different types of cemented carbide rods:

Cemented carbide rods are mainly used for drills, end mills, and reamers. It can also be used for cutting, punching and measuring tools. It is used in papermaking, packaging, printing, and non-ferrous metal processing industries. In addition, it is also widely used to process high-speed steel tools, cemented carbide milling cutters, cemented carbide tools, NAS cutting tools, aviation tools, cemented carbide drill bits, milling cutter core bits, high-speed steel, taperd milling cutters, metric Milling cutters, micro end milling cutters, reaming pilots, electronic tools, step drills, metal cutting saws, double-guaranteed gold drills, gun barrels, angle milling cutters, cemented carbide rotary files, cemented carbide tools, etc.
Cemented carbide rods can be used not only for cutting and drilling tools (such as micrometer, twiste drill, drill vertical mining tool indicators), but also as input needles, various roll wear parts and structural materials. In addition, it can be widely used in many fields, such as machinery, chemical industry, petroleum, metallurgy, electronics and defense industries.
Grade YG6, YG8, YG6X are more wear-resistant than MK6. It can be used for hard wood, processing aluminum alloy profiles, brass rods and cast iron, etc., YG10 grade is wear-resistant, resistant to knocks, and is used for processing hard wood, soft Wood, ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals.
One, two or three holes, 30 degree or 40 degree spiral straight or twisted, or non-porous solid, they are used as manufacturing standards. Sub-micron grain grade YG10X end mills, drill bits, cemented carbide rods are mainly used for precision cutting of non-ferrous metals, sub-micron particle grade YG6X cutting and glass fiber reinforced plastics, titanium alloys, super hardened steel fine grain grade YG8X, etc.
Cemented carbide rods belong to cemented carbide cutting tools, which are suitable for different rough grinding parameters, cutting materials and non-metallic materials. At the same time, cemented carbide rods can also be applied to traditional automatic and semi-automatic lathes and so on.
The main process flow includes powder milling→formula according to application requirements→wet milling→mixing→crushing→drying→sieving→adding forming agent→re-drying→sieving to obtain a mixture→granulating→pressing→forming→low pressure Sintering→Forming (blank)→Cylindrical grinding and fine grinding (the blank does not have this process)→Detecting dimensions→packaging→warehousing.
