硬质合金刀具材料基础知识（Basic knowledge of cemented carbide cutting tools and materials） Hard alloy is a kind of high speed machining using the most widely (HSM) tool material, such material is produced by powder metallurgy production, from hard carbide (usually tungsten carbide WC) metal bonded particles and soft. At present, there are hundreds of different components of WC hard alloy, most of them are used as binder cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) is a commonly used binder elements, can also add some other alloy elements. Why are there so many carbide grades? How do tool manufacturers choose the right tool material for a particular cutting process? To answer these questions, first of all, lets look at the various features that make cemented carbide an ideal tool material. Hardness and toughness WC-Co cemented carbide has unique advantages in both hardness and toughness. Tungsten carbide (WC) itself has very high hardness (over corundum or alumina), and its hardness decreases little when the operating temperature is raised. However, it lacks sufficient toughness, which is essential for cutting tools. In order to use tungsten carbide with high hardness, and improve its toughness, people use metal bonded tungsten carbide combine together, thus the material not only has far more than the hardness of high speed steel, and can withstand the cutting force in the cutting process of the most. In addition, it can withstand the high cutting temperature produced by high-speed machining. Today, almost all WC-Co tools and blades are coated, so the role of base material seems less important. But in fact, it is the high elasticity coefficient of WC-Co material (the stiffness index of measurement, the room temperature elasticity coefficient of WC-Co is about three times higher than that of high speed steel), which provides the substrate without deformation for coating. The WC-Co matrix also provides the required toughness. These properties are the basic characteristics of WC-Co ma
