Carbide tipped cutting tools are manufactured by powder metallurgy techniques and have a composition of_____________________?

Correct answer: A. 90% tungsten carbide and 10% cobalt

  • A. 90% tungsten carbide and 10% cobalt
  • B. 70% aluminium oxide & 30% silica
  • C. 30% nickel, 15% chromium & 55% tungsten
  • D. 65% tungsten & 35% zirconium

Explanation

Cemented carbide cutting tools commonly contain about 90% tungsten carbide particles bonded with 10% cobalt, giving high hardness and wear resistance. The other compositions are not the standard tungsten-carbide tool composition.
