--Cemented Carbide---
Cemented Carbide is one of the most successful composite engineering
materials ever produced. Cemented Carbide's unique combination of strength,
hardness and toughness satisfies the most demanding applications.
A key feature of the Cemented Carbide is the potential to vary its
composition so that the resulting physical and chemical properties ensure
maximum resistance to wear, deformation, fracture, corrosion, and oxidation. In
addition, the wide variety of shapes and sizes that can be produced using modern
powder metallurgical processing offers tremendous scope to design cost-effective
solutions to many of the problems of component wear and failure encountered in
both the engineering and domestic environment.
