Characteristics
Tungsten steel, also known as tungsten carbide or cemented carbide, is a composite material renowned for its exceptional hardness, strength, and wear resistance. It is composed of tungsten carbide particles embedded in a metallic binder, typically cobalt or nickel.
1. Hardness:
Tungsten steel exhibits an outstanding hardness level, typically ranging from 87 to 93 on the Rockwell A hardness scale (HRA). This exceptional hardness enables it to withstand high compressive forces and resist deformation, making it suitable for applications requiring durability and resistance to wear.
2. Strength:
The compressive strength of tungsten steel is impressive, typically ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 megapascals (MPa). This high strength allows it to withstand heavy loads and impacts, making it ideal for applications where toughness and resistance to breakage are essential.
3. Wear Resistance:
Tungsten steel is renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, making it highly suitable for abrasive environments. It exhibits a wear rate of approximately 0.1 to 0.3 millimeters per 100 kilometers of sliding distance. This wear resistance ensures prolonged tool life and reduces the need for frequent replacements, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity.
4. Coefficient of Friction:
The coefficient of friction of tungsten steel typically ranges from 0.2 to 0.4. This moderate coefficient of friction allows for smooth sliding and minimizes the risk of galling or sticking in applications involving sliding or rubbing contact with other materials.
5. Thermal Conductivity:
Tungsten steel has a relatively low thermal conductivity, typically ranging from 40 to 70 watts per meter-kelvin (W/m·K). While this limits its ability to dissipate heat quickly, it also makes tungsten steel suitable for applications where thermal insulation is desired, such as in cutting tools or high-temperature environments.

Process
1. Definition:
Optical Profile Grinding, also known as OPG, is a specialized form of grinding that involves the grinding of complex profiles on various workpieces. It utilizes an optical projector and a precision grinding machine to create highly accurate and intricate shapes, contours, and profiles.
2. Principle of Operation:
The process begins with the creation of a magnified optical projection of the desired profile onto the workpiece. The operator carefully positions the workpiece under the projector, aligning it with the projected image. The profile is then traced and recorded by a highly sensitive optical sensor. The sensor's data is transmitted to the grinding machine, which precisely follows the traced profile, removing material to achieve the desired shape.
3. Applications:
Optical Profile Grinding finds applications in various industries, including tool and die making, mold manufacturing, precision engineering, and aerospace. It is commonly used to produce complex profiles on components such as punches, dies, cutting tools, gears, and camshafts. This technique enables the production of intricate shapes and profiles with high precision and repeatability.
4. Advantages:
Optical Profile Grinding offers several advantages over conventional grinding methods:
- High Precision:
The use of optical projection and sensitive sensors ensures exceptional accuracy in reproducing complex profiles.
- Versatility:
It can grind a wide range of workpiece materials, including metals, ceramics, and hardened steels.
- Complex Profiles:
Optical Profile Grinding is particularly effective in producing intricate profiles that are challenging to achieve with other grinding techniques.
- Time and Cost Savings:
The precise and efficient nature of the process reduces the need for manual adjustments and minimizes material wastage, resulting in time and cost savings.
5. Limitations:
While Optical Profile Grinding offers significant advantages, it also has some limitations:
- Specialized Equipment:
The process requires specialized machinery and optical systems, which may involve higher initial investment and maintenance costs.
- Surface Finish:
Achieving a high surface finish may require additional polishing or finishing operations after grinding.
