How to Choose Carbide Brazed Tips: A Guide to KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE’s Quality

Understanding Tungsten Carbide Brazed Tips

Carbide brazed tips combine the toughness of a carbon steel shank with the durability of tungsten carbide, a material with a Mohs hardness of 8.5-9. Brazed onto the shank and precision-ground to specific angles, these blades excel in cutting high-hardness materials, from asphalt to hardened steels. Their high wear resistance, heat tolerance (up to 2,870°C melting point), and corrosion resistance make them ideal for milling machines and lathes. KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE’s carbide brazed cutting blades deliver consistent performance, producing clean cuts for applications like pavement milling on equipment from Wirtgen or Caterpillar.

5 Factors to Consider When Choosing Carbide Brazed Tips

1. Carbide Grade and Quality

The tungsten carbide grade impacts performance. High-quality, micrograin carbide ensures durability and sharpness. KOIHO’s hard alloy welded tips use premium cemented carbide, offering excellent wear resistance for prolonged use in milling tough materials like reinforced asphalt.

2. Brazing Integrity

Strong brazing ensures the carbide stays securely bonded to the steel shank under high stress. Weak joints risk blade failure. KOIHO’s carbide brazed cutting blades feature advanced brazing, providing reliable performance during intense cutting tasks on machines like Dynapac’s PL1000.

3. Compatibility with Tools

Verify that the cemented carbide brazed inserts fit your equipment’s toolholder system. KOIHO’s tips are designed for seamless integration with milling machines and lathes from brands like XCMG and Volvo, ensuring easy setup and efficient operation.

4. Application Requirements

Match the tip’s geometry to your material—soft metals, hard alloys, or non-metals like asphalt. KOIHO offers tungsten carbide brazed tips tailored for specific tasks, such as milling pavement into uniform reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for cost-effective driveways.

5. Heat and Corrosion Resistance

High-hardness material processing generates heat and exposure to corrosive elements. KOIHO’s hard alloy welded tips, with superior heat and corrosion resistance, maintain performance in harsh conditions, reducing wear on equipment like Roadtec’s RX-700.

Why KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE Stands Out

KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE’s cemented carbide brazed inserts are built for practical, reliable cutting:

• High Hardness: Micrograin tungsten carbide ensures durability against abrasive materials.
• Secure Brazing: Robust bonds withstand high-impact tasks.
• Versatile Designs: Suitable for milling, turning, and cutting diverse materials.
• Cost Efficiency: Long-lasting tips reduce replacement frequency, saving up to 30% on operational costs.

These carbide brazed cutting blades deliver precise cuts, producing high-quality RAP or machined surfaces, making KOIHO a trusted choice for contractors and manufacturers.

Tips for Choosing and Using Carbide Brazed Tips

Maximize performance with these practical steps:

• Select for Material: Choose KOIHO’s tungsten carbide brazed tips designed for your target material, like asphalt or metal.
• Check Equipment Fit: Ensure compatibility with your machine, such as Bomag’s BM 2000/75.
• Maintain Blades: Inspect for wear and clean shanks to preserve cutting accuracy.
• Optimize Settings: Adjust cutting speed and depth for clean, efficient results.

With KOIHO’s hard alloy welded tips, you’ll achieve reliable, cost-effective outcomes in every project.

Choosing the right tungsten carbide brazed tips is essential for efficiently processing high-hardness materials. KOIHO BETTER CARBIDE offers dependable cemented carbide brazed inserts that balance durability, precision, and affordability. Whether milling asphalt for sustainable RAP or machining metals, KOIHO’s carbide brazed cutting blades ensure top performance. Ready to enhance your cutting projects?
