Tungsten Carbide’s Contribution to Advancements in Electrical Discharge Machining
Made up mostly of tungsten carbide (WC) particles adhered with a metal binder, such as cobalt, cemented carbide combines the toughness of tungsten with the strength of other steels. The composition of cemented carbides can be customized to fit specific applications, leading to the manufacturing of varieties like YG15, yg6, and yg20 tungsten carbide
