Solid Carbide

Solid carbide cutting tools made from ultra micro-grain carbide will produce quality threads in cast iron, sintered materials, aluminum and some steels. The unique characteristics of the newer ultra fine grain materials will support cutting action in carbide taps at high rates with extremely good wear resistance.
Carbide is composed of a combination of the elements of carbon and tungsten. When these two elements are mended together they create an alloy that is resistant to heat, scratches, pitting, and rust. You can compare the hardness to that of a diamond due to the high density it holds.
