Reasons to Choose Tungsten Carbide Blades for Cutting Hard Materials
1. Exceptional Hardness
Tungsten carbide ranks significantly higher in hardness compared to high-speed steel (HSS) or conventional tool steels, nearing diamond on the Mohs scale.
2. Superior Wear Resistance
These blades retain their sharp edge for extended periods, making them ideal for handling abrasive and rigid materials.
3. Enhanced Heat Resistance
They perform efficiently even under high temperatures commonly produced during cutting processes.
4. Precision Capabilities
Their rigidity allows for precise cuts, even in applications requiring high tolerances.
Typical Hard Materials Suitable for Tungsten Carbide Blades
- Fiberglass, carbon fiber
- Composites
- Laminates
- Gasket materials
- Rubber containing fillers
- Reinforced plastics and hard polymers
- Wood-based panels such as MDF and HDF
- Thin metals and foils
- Coated paper and packaging materials
- Industrial tobacco stems and reconstituted sheets
It’s worh noting that tungsten carbide blades may be unnecessarily robust and costly for softer materials like foam, textiles, or thin films. In those cases, steel or ceramic blades might offer a more practical solution.
