Tungsten Carbide

Tungsten Carbide (TC) is one of the most versatile materials available for wear parts. It gives the following benefits:

·      High hardness and mechanical strength

·      Superior wear resistance

·      Good corrosion resistance

·      Easily withstands abrasive services

·      (Good fracture toughness)

Two primary grades of tungsten carbide are available - Nickel bonded TC and Cobalt bonded TC:

·      6% Nickel bonded TC, gives enhanced corrosion resistance

·      6% Cobalt bonded TC, provides higher hardness and better abrasion resistance
