Selection of carbide types for saw blades

Commonly used types of cemented carbide are tungsten-cobalt (code YG) and tungsten-titanium (code YT). Due to the better impact resistance of tungsten-cobalt cemented carbide, it is more widely used in the wood processing industry.
The commonly used models in wood processing are YG8-YG15, and the number behind YG indicates the percentage of cobalt content. As the cobalt content increases, the impact toughness and bending strength of the alloy increase, but the hardness and wear resistance decrease. Choose according to the actual situation.
