Differences between Solid Carbide and High-Speed Steel

Differences:

1. The two materials have different compositions. The former is Wc+Co+Tic, while the latter is generally C+Cr+W+Mo+V, etc.

2. The molding methods are different. Solid carbide is a powder metallurgy process.

3. The hardness is different. Solid carbide has high hardness, especially at high temperatures. On the contrary, the hardness of high-speed steel is very different.

4. The cutting speed that can be tolerated is different. Due to its high hardness, the cutting speed that can be tolerated is also fast, while high-speed steel is at a disadvantage in comparison.

5. The application range is different. Solid carbide is used as the tool material, and high-speed steel is suitable for products with toughness requirements.
