Benefits And Handling Or Usage Of Carbide Tools

By Jamal D White


Use of good carbide is likely very important, they give you the same feel as kerf saw blades. There are no major differences between them but the good carbide still provides you with a little better. Choosing the good carbide is going to reduce the breakage, offer you with better cut quality and helps you to make better tools.

The tungsten carbide alloy is prepared by combining equal amount of tungsten and carbon, which creates a powder, which is then mixed with other materials. It is pressed brazed and formed into different materials tools to manufacture or produce legitimately strong tools. This method is also used to prepare the very popular carbide tool tip or carbide step drill.

There are a lot of benefits that carbide offers as a compound in comparison to other available materials. Also, you need to remember that tools that are made using carbide as a material are comparatively stronger than the tools that are made from steel. Although the carbide tools are a little brittle as compared to other materials, they are denser than steel and even titanium.

The hardest carbide substance that came into existence for cutting harder material is the Tungsten carbide, which was found in the early 1900s. It was then followed by the introduction of carbide cutting tools. Industries have become more focussed on producing tools that consists of carbide and in the modern times, we are able to benefit greatly from it.

The first thing that a carbide tool looks for is the handling and storage of the tooling. The carbide tooling is considered to be very expensive; costs you a lot of money. Also the carbide tools are found to be very brittle and fragile as well. While the process of carbide cutting tool is followed it is handled very carefully, irrespective of whether making an end mill, drill or reamer, it is made sure that no two pieces being worked on come together.

Also the multiple benefits of the product over other materials are considered over others to ensure if it can be used for industrial purposes. Likewise you can find solid carbide taps or carbide insert taps, which are available in different sizes and also have pipe threads attached to it.

Next is the green state machining, which is a part of the process that occurs during the manufacturing of the tungsten carbide. During the process there is a time where the powder is in a soft form, which can be shaped in the form you want. After this the material shrinks and the edge changes. If proper finished edges are required, the carbide is taken for the grinding process for proper edge definition. It is comparatively a longer process and does increase the labour cost.

Also keep in mind, in case there is more damage caused to the tool, due to handling and banging the cutting edges. This means there are more materials that are to be removed to get the sharpness again. However, this might result in fewer regrinds, shorter cutting length and shorter tool life.It is also recommended to ensure all the end mil tools that are ready for re-sharpening or complete new, are kept in original plastic case and not thrown in a pile for regrinding.
