Introduction
The 1 Straight Coolant Hole Carbide Rod is a specialized cylindrical tool made of solid carbide material with a straight coolant hole running through its center. It is designed to enhance coolant delivery and improve cutting performance in machining operations. This carbide rod is manufactured with precision to ensure accurate dimensions and a smooth surface finish. The straight coolant hole is carefully aligned, allowing for efficient coolant flow directly to the cutting edge. This facilitates effective cooling, lubrication, and chip evacuation during the machining process.
What is a Solid Carbide Rod?
A solid carbide rod is a cylindrical tool made from a combination of tungsten carbide and a binder metal, typically cobalt. The high percentage of tungsten carbide, known for its extreme hardness, gives the rod exceptional strength and wear resistance.
Composition and Structure
Solid carbide rods are typically composed of 90-94% tungsten carbide and 6-10% cobalt binder. The cobalt binder acts as a matrix, providing toughness and impact resistance to the tool. The rods are manufactured through a powder metallurgy process, followed by sintering to form a solid and homogenous structure.
An unground solid carbide rod is a cylindrical tool made of solid carbide material that has not undergone precision grinding. It is typically composed of a mixture of carbide and metal powders, with tungsten carbide being a common choice. The unground state refers to the rod’s surface not being finely finished or polished.
