Application of Tungsten Carbide Ball Grades YG And YN Series

Application of Tungsten carbide ball grades YG and YN series

There are many grades of Tungsten carbide balls, among which YG and YN series are two different types of Cemented Carbide products, with different grades differing in composition and performance, as well as application areas.

YG series:

YG series tungsten carbide balls belong to tungsten-cobalt tungsten carbide, the main components are tungsten carbide (WC) and binder cobalt (Co). It has high hardness and good toughness, and the wear resistance is also more excellent, and its hardness is generally in 86-93HRA.

Areas of application:

Machining: It can be used to make various tool bit parts for cutting cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics, chemical fibres, graphite and other materials; it is also suitable for making moulds, wear-resistant parts and stamping fittings.

Bearing manufacturing: commonly used in the manufacture of high-precision bearing balls, capable of withstanding high loads and high-speed rotation, widely used in the bearings of various mechanical equipment.

Oil mining: In the oil drilling process, it can be used to manufacture ball bearings and other components of drill bits, which can withstand the high temperature, high pressure and abrasive environment downhole, and improve the service life of drill bits and drilling efficiency.

YN Series:

YN series Tungsten carbide balls have very high hardness, usually above 90HRA, with good high temperature resistance and anti-wear properties. Compared with YG series, YN series has higher hardness but relatively lower toughness.

Application areas:

Metal processing: it is suitable for processing metal materials with high hardness, such as hardened steel and alloy steel. Under high speed cutting and heavy load cutting conditions, YN series carbide balls can maintain good cutting performance.

Mould manufacturing: It can be used to manufacture various cold work moulds and hot work moulds. The use of YN series Tungsten carbide balls in the key parts of the moulds can improve the wear resistance and service life of the moulds, and reduce the number of repairs and replacements of the moulds.

Aerospace: Due to its good high temperature resistance and anti-wear properties, it can be used to manufacture parts in the aerospace field.
