braze an adapter to the carbide? loctite if it can handle the environment?
there are lots of things i don't know, but i'll go out on a limb on this one....your not going to thread .3 id carbide, failing some special machinery like the edm mention (although you edm threads is a mystery to me) maybe thread milling with a diamond cutter? not likely something you'd find a newbie's shop, or and oldie for that matter
carbide (iirc) is sintered - its made from powder. If threads were needed they'd be molded into the carbide as it was formed. I'd guess though that given its brittleness, holding by threads might not work very well? for example if you leave tool steel glass hard the threads aren't going to be very strong because of the brittleness, I'd think carbide would be 10x worse. |
