introduction

Tungsten Steel YL10.2 in CNC Machining

YL10.2 Tungsten Carbide is created through powder metallurgy, using WC (tungsten carbide) and Co (cobalt). This material has excellent shock and bending resistance.

This material undergoes HIP sintering, or Hot Isostatic Pressing sintering, which is a manufacturing process used to enhance the properties of materials, especially metals and alloys. In this method, the material, often in the form of powder, is subjected to both high temperature and high pressure simultaneously. The process involves placing the material in a sealed container and subjecting it to elevated temperatures and pressure from all directions. This results in a more uniform and dense product with improved mechanical properties, such as increased strength and durability.

YL10.2 has exceptional wear resistance. We can do post-processing operations like surface treatments. The polished surface further enhances their performance. Additionally, it has good toughness, high elasticity, and chemical stability. It performs well in various conditions, including resistance to acid, alkali, and high-temperature oxidation. It has low impact toughness, a low expansion coefficient, and thermal conductivity, similar to iron and other alloys. This material is specifically designed for use as forming or stamping dies, catering to both metal and non-metal powders with versatile applications.

FAQ

Machining Tungsten Steel YL10.2 Buying FAQ

Tungsten steel, including YL10.2, is known for its exceptional hardness and strength. However, diamonds are still considered to be the hardest material on Earth.
Tungsten steel, such as YL10.2, is not typically used as a primary material for bulletproof applications. While exceptionally hard and dense, bulletproof materials often require a combination of hardness, flexibility, and other properties. Materials like ceramics, aramid fibers, and metals like steel or titanium are commonly used in bulletproof applications. Tungsten steel may be used in certain components or composite materials for enhanced ballistic resistance, but it is not commonly used as a standalone bulletproof material.
Tungsten steel YL10.2, a type of tungsten carbide, is fire-resistant due to its high melting point. While the binder may have lower resistance, it's generally safe for normal use.
