Due to its low chemical reactivity and optimized thermal conductivity, it delivers high material removal rates, good surface finish and an long tool life. The CBN layer of HTC 2000 consists of tightly controlled CBN crystals, in a Ti-based ceramic matrix, integrally bonded to a tungsten carbide substrate. Parts are inspected at each step of the manufacturing process so that the blanks exactly match customer specifications. Uniform grain size, even cobalt distribution and the absence of voids all are results of Hydro Carbide's strict quality control program. Among other properties, tungsten carbide has high strength for a material so hard and rigid.
Compressive strength is higher than virtually all melted and cast or forged metals and alloys.
The compositions range from two to three times as rigid as steel and four to six times as rigid as cast iron and brass. Please report problems with this site to the Metlfax site manager . Inc. All rights reserved. View our terms of use and privacy policy .
