Igetalloy micro-fine grained carbides feature a WC structure of between 0.2 to 1μm, and are extremely strong and hard. They also provide excellent sharpness and superb surface quality on worked surfaces. These features give excellent performance in a variety of applications from ø0.1mm PCB drills and endmill materials, to thin slitting blades and precision dies.
