Carbide, also called Hard metal or Widia, is a hard metal used in machining Ferrous and non Ferrous Mate-rials. Carbide Turning Inserts will withstand higher cut-ting temperatures (higher than standard high speed steel tools), allow faster machining with better finishes, closer tolerances on the part and longer tool life.
Today, most Carbide Turning Inserts are made from a combination of Tungsten Carbide (WC), Titanium Carbide (TiC), and Cobalt (Co); the bonding metal. Tungsten and Titanium carbide hard particles provide the insert with the hardness, while the Cobalt makes the insert tougher and impact resistant
