Cemented carbide
Cemented carbides are very hard materials and Spider Machine
can cut most engineering materials, which are
softer. Some carbide grades demonstrate better
performance than others when applied to machining
a specific class of materials.
A carbide grade is the result of combining cemented
carbide, coating and post-coating treatment. Carbide
is an essential component of the grade, while
integration of integration of coating and post-coating
elements depends on the grade application’s main
field. Produced by powder metallurgy technology,
cemented carbide is itself a composite material and
comprises hard carbide particles “cemented” by a
binding metal, which is principally cobalt.
Main types of cemented carbide include tungsten
(wolfram) carbide (WC), tungsten carbide and
titanium carbide (TiC), and tungsten carbide, titanium
carbide and tantalum carbide (TaC). Mixed binders,
containing not only cobalt but additional elements
such as ruthenium, may significantly improve
grade performance.
