introduction
Tungsten Steel YT15 in CNC Machining
YT15 is a type of tungsten carbide (WC) with a cobalt (Co) binder, making it a hard and wear-resistant material commonly used in cutting tools and other applications.
Machining tungsten steel YT15 on a CNC requires careful handling due to its hardness and wear-resistant nature. We opt for carbide cutting tools designed for hard materials, like solid carbide end mills with coatings such as TiAlN or TiN, for improved wear resistance. We use lower cutting speeds and feeds to avoid excessive tool wear and heat buildup, adjusting parameters based on the CNC machine and setup.
We also use high-pressure coolant to dissipate heat, lubricants to reduce friction and ensure a rigid setup with proper tool holders and workpiece fixation. We implement climb milling for better surface finish and effective chip control measures. We regularly monitor tool wear and inspect machined surfaces for quality, adjusting cutting parameters as needed. Post-processing steps like grinding or EDM may be considered for critical dimensions or finishes.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Basic Knowledge of Tungsten Steel YT15
What is Tungsten Steel YT15?
Tungsten steel, also known as tungsten carbide or cemented carbide, is a composite material consisting of tungsten carbide particles (a compound of tungsten and carbon) embedded in a matrix of metallic cobalt. YT15 is a specific designation of tungsten steel. It has high hardness, wear resistance, and strength.
YT15 has superior wear resistance compared to YT5 but lower impact toughness than YT5. It is suitable for semi-finishing medium chip sections of steel, cast steel, and alloy steel or for finishing small chip sections of these materials.
