ResearchReplacing critical metals in tools
Cobalt and tungsten play an important role in industry. They are also important in so-called hard metal tools such as drills, milling and turning tools. A research project at the Rhineland-Palatinate University of Technology Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) will focus on reducing the proportion of these critical raw materials in the tools.
