Structural parts: There are many products made of hard alloys for structural parts, such as rotary seal rings, compressor pistons, lathe chucks, grinder mandrels, bearing journals, etc.
Wear-resistant parts: wear-resistant parts made of hard alloys include nozzles, guide rails, plungers, balls, tire studs, snowplow boards, and so on.
Cutting tools: Carbide can be used as a variety of cutting tools. The amount of cemented carbide used in cutting tools in China accounts for about one-third of the total cemented carbide output, of which 78% is used for welding tools and 22% is used for indexable tools. The carbide for NC tools only accounts for about 20% of the carbide for indexable tools. In addition, there are cutting tools such as solid carbide drills, solid carbide small circular saw blades, and carbide micro drills.
Molds: Cemented carbide used as various types of molds accounts for about 8% of the total cemented carbide production. There are wire drawing dies, cold heading dies, cold extrusion dies, hot extrusion dies, hot forging dies, forming dies, and drawing. Core rods, such as long core rods, spherical core rods, floating core rods, etc. In recent decades, the consumption of various types of cemented carbide rolls for wire rods has increased rapidly. Cemented carbides for rolls in China have accounted for cemented carbide production. 3% of the total.
Geological mining tools: Geological mining tools are also a great use of cemented carbide. The cemented carbide for geology and mining in China accounts for about 25% of the total cemented carbide production. It is mainly used for drill bits for impact rock drilling, drill bits for geological exploration, down-hole drills for rollers, roller cone drills and coal cutters. , Impact drills for the building materials industry, etc.
Cavity for high pressure and high temperature: The super important application is to produce products such as top hammers and cylinders for synthetic diamond. Cemented carbides for top hammers and cylinders have accounted for 9% of China's total cemented carbide production.
Other uses: Cemented carbides have become more and more widely used in recent years, and have been continuously expanded in the field of civilian use, such as bracelets, watch cases, zipper heads for luggage, and carbide trademarks.
