What Are Carbide Cutting Tools and Why They Matter in Modern Machining?
Carbide cutting tools are advanced metalworking tools supplied by Caravan Marketing under brands like Kennametal — engineered to deliver exceptional durability, precision, and performance in industrial machining and fabrication processes. These tools are widely used across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defense, railway, mining, and general manufacturing where precision and speed are crucial. Learn more about Carbide Cutting Tools and their industrial applications. What Are Carbide Cutting Tools Carbide cutting tools are made primarily from tungsten carbide — a composite material known for its extreme hardness and wear resistance. This material is much harder and more heat resistant than traditional tool steels like high-speed steel (HSS), which allows carbide tools to perform under high-speed, high-temperature machining conditions. Key Benefits of Carbide Cutting Tools Superior Hardness and Wear Resistance Carbide tools maintain a sharp cutting edge far longer than con...
