What is carbide? (Explained)

Available at: www.tooled-up....
Carbide accessories are without a doubt some of the most well-regarded cutting tools in the industry and have become firmly cemented as a go-to for demanding applications. In this video, we’ll go over some of the benefits of carbide technology and some of the applications it’s best suited to.

Nice video! But the volume is quite low...

[@tooledup]

Noted. ✅

[@nathanieljones3313]

Agreed! It doesn't help that the speaker's voice trails off at ends of sentences and during side comments.

[@thinkniiji]

Thanks, that was all and more than I needed to know. Now I can make more informed decisions on my blades

[@samuelbrothers1018]

I always wondered what carbide was. We use carbide bits and chrome bits or teeth in a big circular saw for cutting logs and the carbide stays sharper for much longer.

[@tooledup]

Glad we could teach you something new! 😎

[@dcordray63]

Thx for the explanation. Well delivery!

[@Jason-o5s]

Cheer~~a binary compound of carbon with an element of lower or comparable electronegativity.😊

[@solerso68]

I would add dies to "only cutting tools", and while some dies are cutting tools, others are forming tools that function without cutting ..carbide dies generally don't need to be lubricated

With only three hundred views, and two months of age, it is totally worth deleting this video and re-uploading with better audio. Very very quiet.

What makes it brittle tho? I’m clearly not a machinist but I like to learn. How is it used to cut metal at high speeds if it’s so brittle? Or am I just thinking about it in the wrong way?

[@Kspice9000]

Different grades are more/less hard.
By brittle it's mean it can shatter when say your feeding to much metal into your carbide mill bit.
Metal will bend or warp.
Carbide is made from tungsten, carbon and cobalt. Essentially it's a hardened cement. So when over fed, as I mentioned before. It will shatter into pieces.

[@RichardGeresGerbil]

Basic physics and metallurgy. Durability can be measured in a couple of ways. Consider swords now you would think a tougher harder stiffer blade would be ideal however if there is no bend or give it will just crack or shatter. Same applies with steel bits as a drill can apply a lot of torque it can easily snap a drill bit that is too hard this always makes a big difference the longer the bit is like a sword compared to a knife as knives tend to be much harder because not as much torque(twist) is generally applied too it being much shorter

[@intersections2428]

i can not hear this

[@zlee001]

carbide sword?

[@franciscoramos2413]

Crank up the volume. Not watched.

[@nosivadbor]

This is terribly inaccurate, and poorly described.

[@jgeur]

what are you implying....that this fellow isn't a trained metallurgist? 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
