In many real-world cutting and engineering applications, the real challenge is not whether a tool can cut, but whether it can cut reliably, continuously, and predictably under harsh conditions.
This is exactly where CYC CS40 stands out. It is suitable for roughing, semi-finishing and machining under extreme conditions

CS40 is a tungsten carbide grade developed with a clear objective:
to deliver balanced toughness and wear resistance in high-impact, high-load working environments.
Rather than chasing extreme hardness alone, CS40 is designed for stability —
the kind of stability that reduces unexpected failures and keeps operations running smoothly.
Excellent Impact Resistance
CS40 performs reliably under frequent impact, interrupted cutting, and fluctuating loads.
Its microstructure is optimized to reduce edge chipping and sudden breakage, even in aggressive applications.
Balanced Wear Performance and Service Life
Instead of strong initial performance followed by rapid degradation, CS40 maintains consistent behavior over long operating cycles.
This makes it especially suitable for customers who prioritize uptime and predictable tool life.
High Tolerance to Real-World Variations
In practice, materials are not always uniform, and working conditions are rarely ideal.
CS40 offers a higher margin of safety, maintaining stable performance even when conditions vary.

CS40 is well suited for:
High-impact and high-wear engineering applications
Continuous or long-run operations requiring stable tool behavior
Designs that demand overall performance rather than a single extreme parameter
If your focus is not simply achieving the highest hardness number, but finding a grade that works reliably in real operating conditions, CS40 is a solution worth evaluating.

At CYC, we believe that using an over-specified grade is not always the best solution. Selecting the right grade for the right application is often the most effective way to control cost and improve performance.
