YG8 alloy is a carbide alloy that consists of cobalt (Y), tungsten carbide (G) and cobalt binder (8). It is one of the commonly used carbide alloys, which is known for its hardness, strength and wear resistance. Carbide alloys are often used in the manufacture of tools, cutting tools, drills and other applications where wear resistance and long life are required. YG8 alloy typically contains approximately 92% tungsten carbide and 8% cobalt binder. This combination ensures hardness and wear resistance, making this alloy suitable for demanding industrial and construction applications. The production and processing of carbide alloys, including YG8 alloy, usually involves processes such as pressing, sintering and heat treatment to achieve the desired material properties.
