The medium particle size and uniform grain structure of GC-315T, coupled with its intermediate binder content, produce a wearresistant grade that has moderate ability to withstand impact. Adding tantalum carbide to GC-315T improves this material’s resistance to galling. GC-315T also stands above other grades because of its high fracture toughness value, which is essential to a slitter blade holding its edge. This grade is also used in Wire and Ram EDM powder metal tooling applications that require a tough, crack-resistant grade. Although GC-315T is our most popular grade, some applications for which GC-315T may appear to be ideally-suited are better-served by other grades. A General Carbide Wear Solutionist can help you determine the best grade for your specific application.
