F18 K10 Th2 is a hardmetal (cemented carbide) composite, likely a tungsten carbide–cobalt system with thorium oxide additions for grain refinement and thermal stability. This ceramic-bonded material is designed for high-temperature cutting, wear resistance, and dimensional stability in demanding machining and forming applications. The thorium dopant distinguishes it from standard K-class carbides, offering improved performance in interrupted cuts and thermal cycling environments where conventional grades would fail.
