Carbide tools and steel: why?

Choosing the tool that best suits your needs is an important decision, because it also affects the health, safety and comfort of those who use it. For this reason, it can be difficult to find the most suitable carbide tools for steel processing.

Therefore. in order to make an informed choice, workability must be taken into account, a concept that is based on three specific characteristics:

  • The classification of the material to be processed from a metallurgical/mechanical point of view.
  • The geometry of the cutting edge to be used, e.g. micro and macro.
  • The cutting material (quality) and all its elements

We recommend choosing carbide tools for steel processing applications.

In fact, at TOMMASIN, we have a dedicated section for steel processing and offer the option to create any customised special tool dedicated to this activity.

    Steel is a versatile material

    Steel is composed of an iron and carbon alloy, making it a versatile and durable material.

    In fact, the different combinations of the iron-carbon alloy with additional elements create different types of steel, each with varying characteristics and workability.

    Why you should choose carbide tools for steel processing

    The workability of steel varies according to the:

    • Binding elements
    • Heat treatment
    • Chosen manufacturing process

    Therefore, depending on the different combination of these factors, various carbide tools must be used, to avoid problems such as:

    • Burr formation
    • Cutting edge build-up
    • Chipping

    When processing steel, it is therefore advisable to pay particular attention to the position of the cutter in order to avoid the ejection of very thick chips.

    Furthermore, as far as stainless steels are concerned, it is also advisable to choose a high cutting speed, use a cutting fluid or coolant (if necessary), and avoid considerably reduced feed rates.
