Kusukela ngawo-1980, izici ezivelele zokuthuthukiswa kwezimboni ze-carbide zikasimende emhlabeni zimi kanje: ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-carbide enosimende ithuthukiswe ngokushesha, ukukhishwa kwayo kuye kwanda kakhulu, futhi insimu yokusetshenziswa kwayo iye yandiswa ngokuqhubekayo, futhi isetshenziswe ngempumelelo ezinkambisweni zemishini ezinzima ezifana nokusika.

Ngokuthuthuka okusheshayo kwemboni ye-elekthronikhi kanye nemboni yokucubungula imishini, i-ultra-fine cemented carbide ithuthuke ngokushesha ngawo-1980, ngokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kwekhwalithi kanye nokwanda okuqhubekayo kokuphumayo.

Esinye isici sokuthuthukiswa kwemboni ye-carbide esimende emhlabeni ngeminyaka yawo-1980 ukuthi imikhiqizo ye-carbide enosimende iyathuthuka ngendlela yokunemba kanye ne-miniaturization.

Izidingo zokunemba kobukhulu bethuluzi lokusika nazo ziphakeme futhi ziphakeme. Abanye abakhiqizi abathuthukile balisusile izinga lokunemba le-u-grade cemented carbide inserts. Ngasikhathi sinye, ukunemba kwe-dimensional kwe-carbide efayo eminingi sekufinyelele izinga le-micron kanye neleveli ye-ultra micron. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-automation kanye ne-intellectualization yemishini kanye nomugqa wokukhiqiza kukhuthaze ukuthuthukiswa kwemboni ye-carbide enosimende endaweni entsha nephakeme.
