Its wide
range and combination of properties makes Cemented Carbide a versatile
engineering material. It has been used for many years for making tools
and is now gaining ground as a general engineering material.
But many of the potential uses of Cemented Carbide are as yet unexploited,perhapes
because many of its unique properties are not widely known.
Wide scope exists for varing the properties of Cemented Carbide. Certain
grades of Cemented Carbide are nearly as hard as diamond. Others are
soft enough to be machined with cutting tools.
