What is C3 grade carbide?
There are several quality grades of carbide. C2 and C3 are the most common grades of carbide used for router bit blades, with C3 being the higher grade and more preferred of the two. C2 carbide blades will dull more quickly than C3 carbide blades but will be less prone to chipping.
What is a C3 bit used for?
C3 is often used for dry machining as well as drilling and milling tools where friction temperatures are high.

What is C4 carbide?
Innovative B2B solutions. Today, C4 is at the forefront of brazing technology and offers an extensive portfolio of innovative diamond and tungsten carbide power tool accessories including holes saws, jig saw blades, reciprocating saw blades and industrial band saw blades.
What are the different grades of carbide?
Nano, Ultrafine and Submicron grades of carbide are what are generally used for end mills. They have a binder content in the range of 3-12% by weight. Grain sizes below 1μm have the highest hardness and compressive strengths, combined with exceptionally high wear resistance and high reliability against breakage.
Is Solid carbide the same as tungsten carbide?
The tungsten content is generally 15-25%; and the solid carbide is sintered by a powder metallurgy process with tungsten carbide as the main body and cobalt or other bonding metal, and the tungsten content is generally above 80%. Simply put, all the alloy whose hardness goes beyond HRC65 can be called solid carbide.
How do I choose a saw blade?
The characteristics that determine the function a circular saw blade are:
- Number of Teeth. Generally, blades with more teeth will provide a smoother, finer cut whereas blades with fewer teeth will provide a rougher cut.
- Gullet Size.
- Hook or Rake Angle.
- Bevel Angle.
- Kerf.
- Rip Blades.
- Crosscut Blades.
- Concrete Reasoning?
Is tungsten carbide stronger than diamond?
Tungsten metal is rated at about a nine on the Mohs scale of hardness. A diamond, which is the hardest substance on earth and the only thing that can scratch tungsten, is rated at a 10. Tungsten carbide is two to three times harder than titanium and cobalt chrome.
How do I choose a carbide insert?
Always select a carbide insert size based on the specific application needs and space for cutting tools in the application. Relatively large insert size provides better stability. Heavy machining requires a carbide insert size of above IC 25mm.
What is the strongest carbide insert shape?
round insert
A round insert can be fed up to 20 percent faster into a workpiece than other types of inserts because the tool has the strongest geometry of any insert shape.
What can cut through tungsten carbide?
A regular wire cutter or hacksaw will not even be able to put a dent on the ring. However, a rotary saw with a diamond coated blade can cut through a tungsten carbide ring in seconds.
