Cobalt vs Titanium: Which Metal Is Stronger?
When choosing between materials for high-performance applications, two metals often come up in conversation: cobalt and titanium. While both are known for ...
Drilling stainless steel is a challenge that requires the right tools, materials, and techniques. Stainless steel’s high tensile strength and hardness make it prone to work hardening and overheating i...
Reaming is a crucial operation in machining, where a tool known as a reamer is used to improve the size, finish, and tolerance of an existing hole. To achieve optimal results, it's essential to select...
High-speed steel end mills are widely used in the manufacturing industry due to their excellent wear resistance, toughness, and versatility. When it comes to machining tough tool steels, such as P20, ...
End mill cutters are designed to endure the mechanical stresses of machining, but even the highest-quality tools can suffer from various types of failures. Understanding why these failures happen, how...
1. Raw Material Selection
The “carbide” in carbide end mills is actually a cemented carbide, made from tungsten carbide (WC) particles held together by a metal binder, usually cobalt (Co).
Tungsten ca...
Whether you're drilling into metal, wood, or another material, drilling at the center ensures that the hole is placed exactly where it needs to be, which is particularly crucial for mechanical and eng...
Introduction
Tungsten steel and tungsten carbide are often confused due to their similar names and the fact that both are used in heavy-duty, high-performance applications. However, they have distinct...
