Difference between cemented carbide and high-density cemented carbide

Cemented carbide is an alloy material made of hard compounds of refractory metals and bonding metals through powder metallurgy. It has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance, and is mainly used to manufacture cutting tools, molds, measuring tools, etc.

High-density alloys usually refer to tungsten alloys with higher density. High-density alloys have the characteristics of high density, high strength, good corrosion resistance and radiation resistance. It is widely used in aerospace, national defense, military industry, medical equipment and other fields, such as for the manufacture of gyroscope rotors, armor-piercing projectile cores, etc.

There are certain differences between the two in performance and application:

• Performance: Cemented carbide is mainly outstanding in hardness and wear resistance; high-density alloys are mainly characterized by high density.

• Application field: Cemented carbide is mainly used in cutting and mold fields; high-density alloys play an important role in specific occasions where high-density materials are required.
