Hard metals, often referred to as hardmetal or carbide, are materials primarily composed of tungsten carbide or titanium carbide. These materials are known for their exceptional hardness and wear resistance, making them ideal for cutting tools, mining equipment, and industrial applications. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures further enhances their utility in various manufacturing processes. The production of hard metals involves sintering, a process that combines fine metal powders under heat and pressure to form a solid mass. This results in a dense, durable material that can be shaped into various forms, such as drills, end mills, and inserts. Hard metals play a crucial role in improving efficiency and longevity in industries that require precision and durability.
