Tungsten Carbide Machined Parts for High Precision Industrial Applications

Product Overview

Tungsten Carbide Machined parts, commonly known as tungsten carbide or simply carbide, is a composite material consisting of hard carbide particles (primarily tungsten carbide, WC) bonded together by a metallic binder (usually cobalt, Co).

This combination results in cutting tools that are exceptionally hard, wear-resistant, and capable of operating at high temperatures and speeds, making them the industry standard for most metal cutting applications.

In industrial manufacturing, Cemented Carbide Parts (often called "Hard Metal") are high-performance components engineered for environments where steel would fail.

They are metal matrix composites consisting of hard carbide grains (usually Tungsten Carbide) "cemented" together by a metallic binder (usually Cobalt).

Key Physical Properties

Extreme Hardness: It ranks between 9 and 9.5 on the Mohs scale, just below diamond. This makes it incredibly resistant to wear and deformation.

High Density: It is significantly heavier than steel, providing stability in high-speed applications.

Thermal Stability: It maintains its hardness even at temperatures up to 700°C to 1000°C, where high-speed steel would soften.

Compression Strength: It has a very high resistance to being crushed, though it is more brittle than steel when subjected to heavy impacts.
