What is tungsten carbide  jaw inserts

Tungsten carbide jaw inserts are small pieces of tungsten carbide material that are used as part of a cutting or gripping tool. Tungsten carbide is a very hard and durable material that is made by combining tungsten with carbon. It has a high resistance to wear and can maintain its sharpness even after extended use.

In the case of jaw inserts, tungsten carbide is used to provide the cutting edge or gripping surface of the tool. The tungsten carbide is often brazed onto a metal substrate to create a composite material that has both the hardness and durability of tungsten carbide and the strength and toughness of the metal substrate.

Tungsten carbide jaw inserts are commonly used in a variety of industrial applications, including machining, drilling, and mining. They are also used in the production of tools such as pliers, cutters, and grips, where their hardness and durability make them ideal for providing a long-lasting cutting or gripping surface.
