Tungsten carbide Tungsten carbide

Home Tungsten carbide

Tungsten carbide, a powerful compound of tungsten, carbon, and cobalt, is increasingly used due to its exceptional strength and durability. The material is resistant to high melting and boiling points and combines the density of tungsten with the hardness of carbon, reinforced by cobalt. This makes tungsten carbide ideal for high-tech applications where wear resistance and hardness are essential.
