Tungsten Steel CNC Machining Process
As a leading CNC machining manufacturer, AOOM specializes in precision machining of challenging materials like tungsten steel. This article explores the technical nuances of tungsten steel CNC processing, offering insights for procurement managers and engineers seeking reliable solutions.
Why Choose Tungsten Steel for CNC Machining?
Tungsten steel (also called cemented carbide) is renowned for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability. These properties make it ideal for:
- Cutting tools and dies
- Aerospace components
- Medical instruments
- High-wear industrial parts
Key Challenges in Tungsten Steel CNC Machining
Machining tungsten steel requires specialized expertise due to:
- Extreme Hardness: Typically 85-92 HRA, requiring diamond-coated tools
- Brittleness: Prone to chipping if improper parameters are used
- Heat Generation: Demands advanced cooling strategies
