Continuous demands for increased productivity and reduced wear cost require constant improvements in design and material properties. Typically, tools with a high hardness are used to prevent wear. But, high hardness (wear resistance) requires a compromise to toughness (impact resistance). For a long time, therefore, steels and cast irons with alloy additives were applied as standard materials. Tungsten carbide, a material known for more than 70 years, opens up new possibilities concerning wear minimization in stone applications through both development of ...
