Tungsten Carbide Octagon Buttons

Tungsten carbide is one of the most important tool materials in the world. Since the 21st century, more and more manufacturers are fond of tungsten carbide due to its high hardness, durability, wear resistance, and shock resistance. Tungsten carbide buttons are one of the tungsten carbide products and can be divided into many different shapes, such as conical buttons, dome buttons, parabolic buttons, wedge buttons, serrated buttons, octagon buttons, and so on. Most tungsten carbide buttons are made in a cylindrical shape, while octagon buttons are not. In this article, you can get familiar with tungsten carbide octagon buttons from the following aspects:

Basic properties of tungsten carbide octagon buttons

Tungsten carbide octagon buttons, also known as cemented carbide octagon buttons, are made from the main raw materials, tungsten carbide powder, which is a kind of gray powder, and a certain amount of cobalt or nickel powder as its binder. Therefore, the tungsten carbide octagonal button is a combination of the high melting point of tungsten and the high hardness, wear resistance, and durability of carbon.

Application of tungsten carbide octagon buttons

1. Tungsten carbide octagon buttons can be used for digging softer rock formations, overburden drilling, cleaning drill holes, and so on;

2. Tungsten carbide octagon buttons can be used as an alloy for water wells and formation core drills;

And so on.

Common grades of tungsten carbide octagon buttons

There are several common grades, such as YG8, YG8C, YG9, YG11, and so on.

YG8: This grade of tungsten carbide octagon buttons can be used for coring crowns, electric coal drill bits, coal cutting picks, cone drill bits, and scraping knife bits. And they can be used in geological prospecting, coal mining, and oil well boring.

YG8C: This grade of tungsten carbide octagon buttons are mostly used in the small or medium size percussion bits and can be applied to cut soft and medium hard formations.

YG9: YG9 tungsten carbide octagon buttons are suitable for cutting soft and medium hard formations.

In modern industry, tungsten carbide octagon buttons are not as popular as other cylindrical buttons, but their function and application can not be neglected.
