A side-by-side comparison of high-speed steel and tungsten carbide for industrial machine knives — covering hardness, toughness, cost.

Cemented tungsten carbide is a powder-metallurgy composite of tungsten carbide grains in a cobalt binder. The standard material for granulator.

Crusher blades take the largest impact loads in industrial cutting. A 30 mm M16 nut in a granulator feed will shatter a D2 blade in 200 cycles.

Granulator rotor and bed knives see impact, contamination and abrasive fillers. The right grade, geometry and edge prep separates a 2-week knife from a 6-month.

YG6X and YG8 are the two most-specified Chinese GB standard tungsten carbide grades for industrial knives. The 2 % cobalt difference looks small but it changes.
