Distinguished by Grain Size: In the world of tungsten carbide punches, the subtle differences in grain size dictate their performance. We categorize them into standard cemented carbide punches, fine-grained cemented carbide punches, and ultrafine-grained cemented carbide punches, each tailored to meet varying industrial needs and precision requirements.

Defined by Chemical Composition: Digging deeper into chemistry, tungsten carbide punches can be further divided into tungsten carbide-based and titanium carbide-based categories. Within the tungsten carbide-based family, YG (tungsten-cobalt), YT (tungsten-cobalt-titanium), and YW (with added rare carbides) each possess distinct characteristics. They harness tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (Tic), niobium carbide (NbC), among others, as core components, complemented by cobalt (Co) as the metal binder, collectively orchestrating a symphony of wear resistance and strength. On the other hand, titanium carbide-based cemented carbides, with Tic taking center stage, paired with molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni) as metal binders, exhibit a different set of performance attributes.

Tungsten Carbide Punches in Cold Working Processes: The Dual Challenge of Wear Resistance and Deformation Resistance

In the broad stage of cold working processes, from punching, shearing to drawing, cold forging, cold extrusion, cold rolling, and powder compaction, each step bears witness to the intense mechanical interplay and sliding contact between tungsten carbide punches and the materials being processed. In this contest, the hardness of the tungsten carbide punch emerges as the pivotal factor. It not only endows the punch with outstanding wear resistance but also, even under the same hardness conditions, demonstrates superior resistance to plastic deformation compared to low-alloy punches. However, this hardness comes with a subtle trade-off in machinability.
