What's the difference between tungsten steel and alloy

Tungsten steel is attributed to hard alloy, but hard alloy is not necessarily tungsten steel, tungsten steel is made of steel process in molten steel to participate in tungsten smelting, also called high speed steel or tool steel, hard alloy is made of powder metallurgy process with tungsten carbide as the main body and cobalt or other adhesives sintered together, all hardness more than hrc65 alloy can be called hard alloy, Therefore, tungsten steel belongs to hard alloy, so the following to explain to you, what is the difference between tungsten steel and alloy?

1. Different data

Tungsten steel contains at least one sintered composite material composed of metallic carbon complexes.

Alloy is an alloy material made of hard compounds of insoluble metals and bonded metals by powder metallurgy process.

Powder metallurgy tungsten steel die

2. Different ingredients

The composition of tungsten steel is wc+ co+tIc and so on.

The composition of the alloy is c+cr+w+mo+v and so on.

3, hardness is different

Compared with tungsten steel and alloy hardness, alloy hardness will be relatively high, especially at high temperature hardness, but tungsten steel tolerance is better.

4. Different application scales

General tool information is made of hard alloy, more complex, difficult to form or require very sharp high tolerance and other occasions are used with tungsten steel.

5, tungsten content different tungsten steel tungsten content is generally between 15% and 25%.

The tungsten content of the alloy is generally above 80%.
