Description of Tungsten Carbide WC Powder
Tungsten carbide is a highly durable and versatile material known for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. The tungsten carbide content is usually 85–95%, while the cobalt content is usually 5–15%. It is available in various forms including tungsten carbide powder, tungsten carbide thermal spray powder, and fused tungsten carbide powder. These powders are used in the production of tungsten carbide rods and tungsten carbide inserts, which are crucial for applications requiring extreme toughness and abrasion resistance. Tungsten carbide metal is widely utilized in cutting tools, mining equipment, and industrial machinery. Additionally, milling tungsten carbide is a common process for shaping and finishing these materials to precise specifications.

Tungsten Carbide WC Powder Reference
Two-step synthesis of nanostructured tungsten carbide-cobalt powders
- Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) cermet materials are widely used for variety of machining, cutting, drilling and other applications. Morphologically, these materials consist of a high volume fraction of hard hexagonal WC phase within a soft and tough Co binder phase.
The addition of cobalt to the carbide increases resistance to wear, hardness and toughness, which are essential qualities for cutting tools, metal rollers and engine components. Cemented carbides are used in many different industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy, mining and general engineering.
This powder is suitable for various applications such as raw materials for drills and end mills used for printed circuit boards, as well as binder-less alloy, which require high hardness and high strength.
Composition: Tungsten carbide powder mainly consists of tungsten carbide (WC) particles and may include binder metals like cobalt.
Advantages: It offers exceptional hardness, toughness, high melting point, chemical resistance, and versatility for use in cutting tools, mining equipment, and industrial machinery.
