The cement carbide is as a cutting tool which is having good wear resistance so it is produced by powder metallurgy for the materials strength increase.

Yes, cemented carbide tool tips are produced by powder metallurgy due to microstructure, high heat resistance, hardness, less wear etc.

The micro-structure of components made by powder metallurgy are very fine and this increases the strength and less wear rate.

Cemented carbide tool tips are generally employed to cut or machine hard materials like carbon steel, stainless steel etc, .

So, its wear rate should be very low for long life and accurate cut. Powder metallurgy is the process of blending powdered materials with additive and pressing it to form desired shape, then heating and quenching it in furnace. The micro-structure of components made by powder metallurgy are very fine and this increases the strength and less wear rate.
