What is the difference between the a rod blank listed as carbide and one listed tungsten carbide? Do both have tungsten, are they the same in hardness? Kori "Carbide" has become a generic term for tungsten carbide. There are other types of "carbide" metals, such as chrome carbide and others. There are also different grades of tungsten carbide. Most common differences deal with the amount of cobalt in the metal and the grain size. If you have a very specific requirement for tungsten carbide you should order it from a dealer that can supply specific grades and types. All of this is a simplification of "carbide", but I hope it is helpful. Gordy |
