What is carbide material? Why is it stronger than ordinary metals?
Product Info
💡 Strong Materials Used in Industry
Carbide is a material formed by the combination of metals (such as tungsten, titanium) with carbon, making it highly durable, wear-resistant, and heat-resistant. It is commonly used in the manufacture of cutting tools, molding equipment, and machine parts that require high strength.
🔍 Key Properties of Carbide
✅ Very high hardness – harder than steel and conventional tool steel
✅ Wear resistance – lasts longer than other metals
✅ High heat resistance – maintains properties even at high temperatures
✅ Excellent shape retention – suitable for precision work
✅ Resistant to compressive and frictional forces – used in high-stress applications
● Types of Carbide Materials
✅ Tungsten Carbide (WC)
- Most commonly used
- Strong and highly wear-resistant
- Used for drill bits, metal cutting blades, and forming dies
✅ Titanium Carbide (TiC)
- Hard but more brittle than WC
- High heat resistance, suitable for high-speed cutting tasks
✅ Silicon Carbide (SiC)
- Lightweight yet strong
- Used in the electronics and refractory materials industries
✅ Boron Carbide (B₄C)
- Second hardest material after diamond
- Used in bulletproof vests and scratch-resistant equipment
● Applications of Carbide Materials
🔹 Metal cutting tools such as drill bits, cutters, CNC blades
🔹 Metal molds & dies, high impact resistance
🔹 Machinery parts, withstands high compressive and frictional forces
🔹 High-pressure nozzles, used in sandblasting industries
🔹 Medical tools and electronics, such as surgical blades and ceramic parts
● Why Choose Carbide Materials?
⭐ More durable than ordinary steel, offers longer usability
⭐ Suitable for high-precision tasks
⭐ Reduces the cost of frequent tool replacements
