Benefits of Tungsten Carbide

The tungsten carbide, symbol CW, is a combination of carbon and tungsten. This last element possesses the highest melting point (3422 °C) of all the metals, the lowest pressure of vapour and the biggest strength of drive in a superior temperature in 1650 ° C; meaning stone kick out in Swedish, the tungsten is mostly used in the form of compound or of alloy as the tungsten carbide and its main use is in the mechanical engineering industry. Of a big hardness, components produced in tungsten carbide support the multiple requests of the extensive environments of production and must be manufactured by ceramic or diamond tools. These components in CW can support efforts of high compression while having good characteristics of wear resistance and in the high-temperature oxidation. That is why our customers appreciate the quality of the tools which we produce because they have a life cycle much more longer than treated steel parts
