Type of Material:

Tungsten carbide is an inorganic chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. It is approximately four times stiffer than steel, is much denser than steel or titanium and can only be polished and finished with diamond wheels and compounds

Manufacturing technique:

  • Iso-static pressed

Application:

  • Excellent toughness
  • Excellent for extreme abrasion
  • Highest melting point
  • Lowest vapour pressure
  • Highest tensile strength above 1650°C
  • High corrosion resistant

Industries:

Ideal for the Mineral Processing and Industrial markets where extreme wear, impact, corrosion and temperature are faced.
