Processing of Tungsten Carbide
The Mechanical Processing of tungsten carbide parts, which involves various machining processes applied to the tungsten carbide blank that has undergone heat treatment. This is done to achieve the desired shape for the final product. Here's a detailed explanation of the mechanical processing of tungsten carbide products:
- Cutting: Utilize cutting tools to cut the heat-treated tungsten carbide blank into the required shape and dimensions. This step is often used to establish the overall dimensions of the product.
- Milling: Employ milling processes to cut into the surface of tungsten carbide using rotating tools, further refining the product's shape and surface characteristics. Milling can be used to process flat surfaces, grooves, and other specific shapes.
- Grinding: Use grinding tools to grind the tungsten carbide, achieving higher surface smoothness and precision. Grinding also helps refine the dimensions and shape of the product.
- Turning: Use a lathe for turning operations, where the tungsten carbide undergoes rotational cutting, particularly useful for processing cylindrical products or components.
- Hole Machining: Use drilling machines or other hole machining equipment to create holes in the tungsten carbide, meeting the specified diameter requirements in the product design.
The selection and sequence of these mechanical processing steps depend on the design specifications and intended use of the final product. Through mechanical processing, tungsten carbide products can be precisely shaped into various forms, and their surface characteristics can be further optimized to meet specific application requirements.
