The Difference Between Tungsten Carbide and Tungsten Steel

The Difference Between Tungsten Carbide and Tungsten Steel

For a long time, there are a lot of industry people think that cemented carbide is tungsten steel. Zhuzhou Jinxin is a custom enterprise focusing on high quality carbide processing and production, has more than 20 years of history, advanced equipment, strong technical strength, experienced in production and processing, so ask the old technician to summarize the characteristics of carbide and tungsten steel, so today we will talk about what is the difference between carbide and tungsten steel.

Generally speaking, tungsten steel is made by melting tungsten raw material in steel with steel making process, also called high speed steel or tool steel, and its tungsten content is generally 15-25%. In addition to the production of HSS by melting method, there is also powder metallurgy HSS, which avoids the carbide segregation caused by the melting method of production and causes mechanical properties reduction and heat treatment deformation.

Cemented carbide is produced by powder metallurgy with tungsten carbide as the main body and cobalt or other binder metals sintered together, and its tungsten content is generally above 80%.
