Tungsten carbide as the leading material of cutting tool,bring cutting machining to tungsten carbide era

With the extensive application of aerospace difficult-to-machine materials, how to choose the right tool material for cutting, reduce the processing cost and improve the productivity is a very important problem. Cutting tool material to work with the mechanical properties, physical properties, chemical properties match.

With the combination of tool technology and machine tool technology, the workpiece material and tool materials to promote each other, the aerospace manufacturing industry continues to develop. It can be said that the continuous development of tool materials is the driving force for the continuous development of aerospace manufacturing industry. Tool steel (carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel, high-speed steel), carbide (carbide tool steel, high-speed steel), carbide steel, high-speed steel, , Ceramic and superhard tool materials. Carbon tool steel suitable for the manufacture of hand tools, carbon tool steel T10A and T12A more widely used.

Aviation manufacturing, the largest proportion of carbide cutting tools. Carbide tool in the aviation manufacturing is the leading tool, the scope of application is quite extensive, in the NC tool material in the dominant position. Carbide become the main tool material, so that the cutting process to achieve the transition to the carbide era, due to different grades of carbide performance characteristics of different, and therefore its scope of application are also different. Carbide not only can be used to manufacture all kinds of machine tool indexable tool, and can manufacture integral end mills, reamers, taps and drill bits. Carbide cutting tools are divided into ordinary hard alloy, coated carbide, ultra-fine particles carbide, carbon (nitrogen) of titanium-based hard alloy.
