Expert Commentary
Defines the Transverse Rupture Strength of Cemented Carbides. Like B312, this is a three-point bend test but at much higher loads. The fixtures are made of hardened materials (often tool steel or tungsten carbide itself) to prevent indentation of the fixture by the specimen. High frame stiffness is mandatory to ensure the energy at failure is safely dissipated.
