Application of Carbide Drill
Carbide drills, also known as carbide tipped drills or integral carbide drills, are high-performance drilling tools for working with hard materials. Carbide tipped drills are a high-performance choice for drilling hard and abrasive materials with durability, precision and excellent cutting ability. Their high hardness and wear resistance make them ideal for demanding applications in a variety of industries, including metalworking, composites and electronics.
Carbide drills are made entirely of carbide material for extreme hardness and durability. The use of carbide tips bonded to a steel body combines the hardness of carbide with the toughness of steel. Typically have a Rockwell hardness of 68-72 HRA, making them suitable for drilling through tough materials. Carbide drill hold a sharp cutting edge longer than High Speed Steel (HSS) drills, drilling holes more accurately and cleanly. Carbide drills perform well at high temperatures, making them suitable for high-speed, high-heat applications.
Carbide drills can be used for drilling hard metals such as stainless steel, titanium and high temperature alloys. Suitable for applications requiring high precision and tight tolerances. Effective for drilling through composite materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar, which are commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industries. Sometimes used in woodworking for specific applications that require very precise holes or for working with hard, dense wood.
