Types and applications of solid carbide rods Tungsten carbide an inorganic metal (chemical) compound has emerged as the one of the useful metal product that is being used in industrial machinery, cutting tools, abrasives, armor piercing rounds, in jewelry etc. The use of tungsten carbide is mostly used in drilling activities especially the carbide tips are used to twist drills to make the edges more wear resistant at higher speeds. Carbide tipped drills is widely used for hard, abrasive and nonmetallic materials such as masonry. Indexable drilling has become quiet efficient and cost effective due to the use of indexable carbide inserts. Solid carbide rods are used for drilling tools, automobile special cuter, cutting aluminum alloy, in stainless steel, refractory steel etc. There are different types of solid carbide rods such as YG6, YG8, YG6X, YG012, YG013, YG8A, YG10X etc. These rods are mostly applied for end mill, drill mill with sub micron grade YG10X for non-ferrous cutting and w Less
