What is the role and production process of Cemented Carbide Round Bar?
Cemented carbide round bar is a composite material manufactured from tungsten-cobalt (also known as tungsten-cobalt alloy), titanium-carbon (also known as titanium-tungsten-carbon) and other metal materials, through a special process. Cemented carbide rods have extremely high hardness and wear resistance, and are widely used in machining, engraving, stamping dies, drilling and other applications. Here is a look at the role, production process and characteristics of cemented carbide round bars.
A, the role of carbide round bar
Cemented carbide round bar has high hardness and wear resistance and can be widely used in machining, engraving, casting, stamping, diamond tools, mining drilling tools, geological survey drilling machines, oil drilling bits, machining and other fields. Due to the high hardness and long service life of cemented carbide round bars produced by cemented carbide bar manufacturers, they are widely used in industrial production.
Second, the production process of cemented carbide round bar
The production process of cemented carbide round bar mainly includes raw material preparation, powder metallurgy, pressing and forming, sintering and post-treatment, the specific steps are as follows:
1. Raw material preparation
The main raw materials of Cemented Carbide Round Bar are tungsten, cobalt, titanium, carbon and other metal materials. First of all, the different kinds of metal materials should be mixed according to a certain ratio.
2. Powder metallurgy
The mixed metal powders are put into special metallurgical equipment and the individual metal elements are evenly distributed through powder recombination to form a powder alloy.
3. Pressing and forming
The powdered alloy is pressed into rods and shaped to the required size and shape through the processing of different forming machines.
4. Sintering
The pressed powder alloy is heated in a furnace to achieve a certain degree of crystallisation, thus increasing the hardness and wear resistance of the carbide.
5. Post-treatment
The sintered carbide rods require further processing to achieve different shapes, sizes and surface finishes.
