Tough Carbide
Tough Carbide
(OP)
I am not really sure whether this belong here or in the ceramics forum as cemented carbide is a cermet, but anyway I have a rather specific carbide need. I need a 1/32"x 3/4"x 3" piece of C-14 or similarly tough, impact resistant, cemented carbide. Does anybody even make something like this?

The C 14 designation is from World War II and denotes a grade suitable for heavy impact situations.
There are 19 C grades from the 1940s and maybe 5000 grades now. The last 10 years, particularly, has seen huge advances in carbide technology. Traditionally carbide was either tough for impact conditions or hard to give high wear. Now, there are about 17 different factors affect carbide performance.
Carbide used to have a TRS or transverse rupture strength of 200,000 or 300,000 PSI. Now we are seeing strengths in the 500,000 and 600,000 PSI range. In addition, these extremely strong and tough grades, also give excellent wear. If you check out the following webpage you will see that much of what has traditionally been called wear could also be classified under macro fracturing, micro fracturing, crack initiation, crack propagation or something similar.

If you can specify your application you are much more likely to get an eminently suitable grade.
If you wish, we would be happy to check with our suppliers and see what we can do to find you a good grade. Emily has been doing this about seven years and is very good at it.

I need a grade that can support a very low edge angle without chipping, as I am stuck between carbide and HSS. Hardness and wear resistance are secondary as they will easily surpass HSS in this respect.

You might look into a Stellite grade.
