Application of transition metal carbides and nitrides in industrial tools

  • Chapter

Abstract

Carbides and nitrides based on the transition metals of Groups 4 through 6 of the Periodic Table have a number of special physical and mechanical properties that make them attractive for use in engineering applications. This paper discusses these properties and how they are exploited in cemented carbides and carbonitrides used in metalcutting and nonmetalcutting applications.
