Tungsten Carbide button inserts are widely used in oil drilling and snow plow equipment for snow removal. In addition, carbide button inserts are also well used in cutting tools and mining machinery, road maintenance and coal drilling tools.
Cemented carbide button inserts are widely used in mining and quarrying and cutting processes due to their high hardness, and can also be used in heavy excavator bits.
