Cemented Carbides | International Tungsten Industry
Cemented carbides combine the high hardness and strength of metallic carbides (WC, TiC, TaC) or carbonitrides (eg TiCN) with the toughness and plasticity of a metallic alloy binder (Co, Ni, Fe), in which the hard particles are evenly distributed to form a metallic composite. Tungsten carbide is the most metallic of the carbides, and by far the most important hard phase. The more hard carbide
