Carbide Mine Button Application for Mining

Carbide Mine Button Application for Mining

It is widely used in ore mining, oil field drilling and production, and infrastructure construction.

Carbide mining buttons are widely used in oil drilling and snow plow equipment for snow removal. In addition, carbide buttons are also well used in cutting tools and mining machinery, road maintenance and coal drilling tools. Tungsten carbide buttons for mining are mainly used as mining tools in quarrying, mining, tunnels and civil buildings.

What is carbide used for in mining?

Tungsten carbide is the number one choice in mining for cutting and drilling tools, as well as for use in any application where a durable contact insert is called for.

Is tungsten a carbide?

Tungsten carbide is a dense, metallike substance, light gray with a bluish tinge, that decomposes, rather than melts at 2600°C (4700°F). It is prepared by heating powdered tungsten with carbon black in the presence of hydrogen at 1400°–1600°C (2550°–2900°F).

What is carbide made of?

Carbides are prepared from carbon and an element of similar or lower electronegativity, usually either a metal or a metal oxide, at temperatures of 1000–2800°C (1800–5100°F). Almost any carbide can be prepared by one of several general methods.

Which is better carbide or steel?

Carbide is much harder than steel and much more resistant to heat. Although a carbide-tipped tool is more expensive than a comparable tool which has steel cutting edges, carbide is more economical because it lasts much longer.
