Applications of Carbide Buttons

Tungsten carbide buttons, as known as tungsten carbide bit tips, tungsten carbide cutting tips, tungsten carbide coal mining bits, and cemented carbide drilling inserts, are used widely in modern industries. As we all know, tungsten carbide, also called cemented carbide, hard alloy, is the hardest material only less than diamond, so tungsten carbide buttons are hard, wear-resistant, and can serve for long life. This is why tungsten carbide insert buttons are so popular in various industries. In this article, the application of tungsten carbide buttons will be talked about as follows:

1. For rock drilling

2. For oil mining

3. For coal mining

4. For PDC substrate

5. For snow removing

6. For civil construction

1. For rock drilling

Tungsten carbide button tips can be applied for rock drilling as tips for Down-The-Hole (DTH) bits. When carbide inserts work, they can transmit the percussive energy on rocks. When the buttons are sharper, they can perform in a better way, and drill at a high speed, making the bits work faster. Carbide bits with high quality can work for a longer time. After a very long working time, carbide inserts may be flat or damaged because of thermal fatigue and the detachment of buttons.

2. For oil mining

In the oil field, cemented carbide mining bits are machined with various tools, such as DTH bits, geotechnical drilling tools and tri-cone bits. Tri-cone bits are common, consisting of three rotating cones working inside each other and each with its own cutting teeth. These tools with mining teeth can produce large stress and work effectively.

3. For coal mining

Tungsten carbide button bits can be pressed into coal cutting picks, electric coal drill bits, coal mining cutter picks, and rotary drilling for pile holes. During coal mining, it will produce high temperatures. At this moment, tungsten carbide bit buttons’ resistance for high temperature and high pressure is vital.

4. For PDC substrate

Some tungsten carbide button tips are made for PDC substrate. They always have an uneven head top to ensure that they can combine with synthetic diamond granules under high pressure and high temperature.

5. For snow removing

When people remove snow, they operate snow removal, snow plough machine, or equipment attached with cemented carbide drilling teeth. As cemented carbide drilling teeth have great properties, they make perfect working performances.

6. For civil construction

For civil construction, tungsten carbide cutting inserts are needed for bridge pile foundation excavation, tunnel shield, urban road crossing, and high-speed railway construction.
