What Is a Carbide Turning Insert?
Carbide turning inserts, made from tungsten carbide alloy, are used for turning operations in machining processes. They remove material from cylindrical or conical objects. Widely utilized in automobile manufacturing, metalworking, construction machinery turning, and machinery maintenance, these inserts offer sustained sharpness, wear resistance, and heat resistance.
Comprising a cutting edge, shank, and support, the hardness and toughness of tungsten carbide ensure efficient cutting. Considerations for optimal use include proper coolant application, appropriate cutting conditions, and regular maintenance.
