introduction
Tungsten Steel YL50 in CNC Machining
Tungsten carbide, often combined with cobalt to form cemented carbide, is widely used in cutting tools such as end mills and drills.
CNC machining involves computerized control of tools for precision and efficiency. Due to the hardness of tungsten steel, especially YL50, specialized cutting tools and techniques are necessary. We use appropriate tools, such as carbide or polycrystalline diamond ones, known for their durability. We adjust cutting speeds and feeds to prevent excessive wear and heat generation and use coolants or lubricants to dissipate heat.
We opt for suitable tool geometry and coatings, like TiAlN or TiN, to enhance performance. Additionally, we use climb milling when possible, considering machine rigidity. We ensure effective chip control to prevent recutting and implement quality control measures for accurate and precise machining of tungsten steel YL50. Surface treatments that can be used for YL50 include sand-blasting, grinding, and polishing.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Basic Knowledge of Tungsten Steel YL50
What is Tungsten Steel YL50?
Tungsten Steel YL50 is a specific grade of Tungsten Carbide. YL50 has high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and strong bending strength. Tungsten steel is extremely hard and can withstand wear and abrasion. It retains its hardness even at high temperatures.
Its hardness contributes to excellent wear resistance, making tungsten steel tools and components durable and long-lasting. Tungsten carbide is chemically inert and doesn't react with many substances. It is suitable for manufacturing punching dies and tools.

FAQ
Machining Tungsten Steel YL50 Buying FAQ
Tungsten steel, including YL50, has a very high melting point. Tungsten itself has one of the highest melting points of all elements. It typically melts at temperatures above 3,400 degrees Celsius (6,152 degrees Fahrenheit). Tungsten steel alloys, like YL50, are engineered to maintain high-temperature stability.
Tungsten steel, being a dense and heavy material, sinks in water. Tungsten has a high density, and this property is often used in various applications where a compact, high-mass material is needed.
Tungsten and its alloys, including YL50, are not known for their electrical conductivity. In fact, tungsten is classified as a poor conductor of electricity.
