Advantages and disadvantages of tungsten steel milling cutter

Tungsten steel milling cutter is widely used in machining, metal cutting and drilling. It is made of tungsten steel, its main advantages include high hardness, high wear resistance, high bending strength and good corrosion resistance. However, tungsten steel milling cutter also has some shortcomings, such as high manufacturing cost, fragile and susceptible to external factors. We will elaborate further on these advantages and disadvantages below.

Advantages:

1. High hardness: The hardness of tungsten steel milling cutter is much higher than that of ordinary steel, and it can easily cut metals, plastics and other materials. With extremely high hardness and wear resistance, the milling cutter is not easy to wear during use.

2. High wear resistance: The wear resistance of tungsten steel milling cutter is unmatched by other ordinary steel. This wear resistance allows it to effectively extend the service life under the premise of complex processing.

3. High bending strength: tungsten steel milling cutter at the same strength, the bending strength is much higher than ordinary steel. During the cutting process, the processed material may bend, and the high bending strength ensures that the milling cutter is not easy to break.

4. Good corrosion resistance: Tungsten steel milling cutter is made of tungsten and carbide, this material has excellent corrosion resistance, so that it can also maintain good performance in a humid environment.

Cons:

1. High manufacturing cost: The cost of manufacturing tungsten steel milling cutter is very high. Since the material used to manufacture tungsten steel milling cutters is precious, the production cost will increase accordingly.

2. Fragile: Because this material is very hard, tungsten steel milling cutter is easy to break when it is hit or too strong.

3. Susceptible to external factors: tungsten steel milling cutter in use should pay attention to avoid contact with acid, alkali and other highly corrosive items, otherwise it will lead to its performance decline, and even affect the service life.

In general, tungsten steel milling cutter has higher hardness, wear resistance and bending strength than other materials, and corrosion resistance is also better. However, because of its high manufacturing cost, coupled with problems such as fragility and vulnerability to external factors, it needs to be paid attention to during use.
