Tungsten carbide is an inorganic chemical compound which contains equal |
| numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms. It is sometimes colloquially referred |
| to as simply “carbide.” In its most basic form, t is a fine gray powder, but it can |
| be pressed and formed into shapes for use in industrial machinery, tools, |
| abrasives, as well as jewelry. |
| Tungsten carbide, often referred to as the hardest metal, has a compressive |
| strength much greater than any metal or alloy, including steel. Because it is |
| highly resistant to abrasion, it is ideal for use in a variety of wear applications. |
 |
Traditionally, tungsten carbide components have been used in metalworking |
| applications where tooling stresses are great. However, there are numerous |
| non-metal uses, such as crushing/pulverizing stone, where tungsten carbide's |
| strength and wear characteristics offer a cost-effective solution. |
| Tungsten carbide is used wherever, high resistance to wear is demanded, |
| for example, in drilling, milling, trenching and cutting. We offer an extensive |
| programme which includes the most varied dimensions and shapes and which is |
| constantly being expanded by new, innovative solutions. We also manufacture |
| tungsten carbide in special shapes for particular applications and, if desired, |
these can be constructed on the latest 3-D CAD equipment. We would be glad to send you more information regarding thecomplete programme.
