Feature

Tungsten carbide is a compound made of tungsten and carbon. The formula is WC.IT is black hexagonal crystal with metallic luster and hardness similar to diamond. It is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Tungsten carbide is insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, but soluble in a mixture of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Tungsten carbide to preserve tungsten carbide is fragile, if a small amount of titanium, cobalt and other metals, can reduce the brittleness.

Application

It is widely used in high-speed cutting tools, kiln structural materials, jet engine components, cermet materials, resistance heating elements, etc.

Used in the manufacture of cutting tools, wear-resistant parts, metal melting crucibles such as copper, cobalt, bismuth, and wear-resistant semiconductor films.

Used as a super hardened tool material, wear-resistant material. Many carbide carbide solutions can be used to form a solid solution. Wc-Tic-Co cemented carbide tools have been widely used. It can also be used as a modification additive for NBC-C carbides and a TAC-C ternary system, which can not only reduce the sintering temperature, but also maintain good performance, and can be used as aerospace materials.

Tungsten carbide (WC) powder is synthesized from tungstic anhydride (WO3) and graphite at a high temperature of 1400~1600°C in a reducing atmosphere. Dense ceramic products can be prepared by hot pressing sintering or hot isostatic pressing sintering.
