High Erosion Resistant Cobalt Based Alloy Tungsten Carbide Saw Tips
Tungsten carbide used for saw tips is a composite containing between 3-25% carbon compounds and the balance tungsten metal. It may also include small amounts of other carbides like tantalum, titanium, or niobium carbide.
The exact composition depends on the grade and application requirements:
Common grades have 6-15% cobalt added as the metal binder that holds the composite together during sintering.
These characteristics significantly improve cutting speed, reduce cutting forces, and increase blade life relative to other tip materials.
Carbide is also somewhat brittle however, so the blades may chip if subjected to sharp impacts. Proper use is important to maximize service life.
Tungsten carbide, often referred to as carbide, is made by mixing tungsten powder and carbon at high temperatures. This produces an incredibly tough composite that is harder than most steels and maintains strength at high temperatures.
These properties make carbide an ideal material for cutting tools and saw tips. Carbide-tipped saw blades last much longer between sharpenings and can cut faster and smoother than steel blades.
Carbide tips are commonly brazed or welded onto the teeth of circular, chop, and other types of saws used to cut metal, masonry, concrete, wood, plastic, and more. They improve cutting performance and blade life significantly.
Tungsten carbide-tipped saw blades are used to cut virtually all types of materials including:
| Material | Details |
|---|---|
| Metals | All types of steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper etc. Can cut much faster than high speed steel blades. |
| Masonry | Concrete, cinder blocks, brick, tile, stone |
| Asphalt | Fast cutting of asphalt paving |
| Wood | Manmade wood products, chipboard, plywood. Carbide tips improve cutting rate and reduce gumming relative to steel. |
| Plastics | Fiberglass, ABS, PVC piping and sheets, nylon, plexiglass |
| Composites | Carbon fiber, fiberglass |
