YG8C Tungsten Steel

It is a coarse-grained tungsten carbide alloy, and its performance and wear resistance are similar to YG11C. Drawing dies for drawing steel rods or steel pipes with greater compression rate are also used for upsetting dies for screws, bolts, rivets, etc.

Material Name: YG8C Category: Tungsten Cobalt Class Performance and Application:
It is a coarse-grained tungsten carbide alloy, and its performance and wear resistance are similar to YG11C. Drawing dies for drawing steel rods or steel pipes with greater compression rate are also used for upsetting dies for screws, bolts, rivets, etc.

Without heat treatment, the inner and outer hardness is uniform. Used for mass production. It is suitable for the production of cold heading, cold punching and cold pressing molds for standard parts, bearings, etc.
