They are made by blending micron-sized tungsten
and cobalt powders, then compacting the mixture in a mold and sintering the
molded part at a temperature high enough to cause the cobalt to flow. During
this process the cobalt fills the voids between the tungsten grains and
thoroughly coats each grain. When the cobalt solidifies, it "cements" the
grains together, forming a dense composite. Cemented carbides get their
hardness from the tungsten grains and their toughness from the tight bonds
produced by the cementing action of the cobalt metal. By varying the amount
of cobalt we can change the hardness, wear resistance and toughness (shock
resistance) of the carbide to suit your particular need.
