introduction
Tungsten Steel YG10X in CNC Machining
YG10X is a type of tungsten carbide, a hard and durable material used in cutting tools, dies, and other applications that require high wear resistance.
When CNC machining Tungsten Steel YG10X, DEK uses appropriate tools, such as carbide or diamond-coated ones, designed for tungsten carbide materials' hardness and wear resistance. We use low cutting speeds and feeds to avoid tool wear and overheating. We also use coolant and lubrication to help dissipate heat and reduce friction. Shallow cutting depths and widths are advisable due to tungsten steel's hardness, preventing tool breakage. Climb milling is often preferred for better precision.
We secure workpieces firmly to minimize vibrations and use the most advanced CNC machine. Post-machining processes like grinding may be needed for the desired surface finish. We prioritize safety with proper PPE and awareness of tungsten carbide dust hazards. Moreover, we regularly check tool conditions and conduct quality control inspections to ensure accurate and high-quality results while considering specific recommendations for the tungsten steel grade.

FAQ
Machining Tungsten Steel YG10X Buying FAQ
Tungsten Steel YG10X, also known as cemented carbide, is a very hard and brittle material. Welding it through traditional methods like arc welding or gas welding is challenging due to its high melting point and susceptibility to cracking. However, specialized techniques such as spark plasma sintering or laser welding may be used in certain cases.
Tungsten Steel YG10X is typically produced through a sintering process involving high-temperature treatments. To achieve its desired hardness and properties, it is already heat-treated during the manufacturing process. Further heat treatment may not be necessary or may be limited due to the material's characteristics.
Tungsten Steel YG10X is dense and heavy compared to many other materials. Tungsten itself is a dense metal, and when combined with other elements in the cemented carbide, it results in a heavy and hard material.
