Tungsten carbide is widely used as cutting tool materials, such as turning tools, milling cutters, planer blades, drills, boring tools, etc., for cutting cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics, chemical fibers, graphite, glass, stone and ordinary steels. It can also be used for cutting refractory materials such as heat-resistant steel, stainless steel, high-manganese steel, and tool steel. The cutting speed of new tungsten carbide alloy tools is now hundreds of times than that of carbon steel. The following products are the main products of tungsten carbide alloys, including tungsten carbide plates, tungsten carbide ball teeth, tungsten carbide nozzles and tungsten carbide rods.
