Since 1980s, the outstanding characteristics of the development of cemented carbide industry in the world are as follows: on the one hand, the coated cemented carbide has developed rapidly, its output has been greatly increased, and its application field has been continuously expanded, and it has been successfully applied to heavy machining processes such as cutting.

  With the rapid development of electronic industry and mechanical processing industry, the ultra-fine cemented carbide has developed rapidly in the 1980s, with continuous improvement of quality and continuous expansion of output. 

  Another characteristic of the development of cemented carbide industry in the world in the 1980s is that cemented carbide products are developing in the direction of precision and miniaturization.

  The requirements of cutting tool dimensional accuracy are also higher and higher. Some advanced manufacturers have eliminated the precision standard of u-grade cemented carbide inserts. At the same time, the dimensional accuracy of many cemented carbide dies has reached micron level and ultra micron level. In addition, the automation and intellectualization of equipment and production line have promoted the development of cemented carbide industry in a new and higher field.
