Application of Tungsten Carbide Grit

Application of tungsten carbide grit

Tungsten carbide has a high modulus of elasticity, high hardness, excellent thermal stability, high-temperature oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and has a wide range of applications in machining, mining and other industries. Usually, the hardness (i.e. wear resistance) as well as the strength and toughness (i.e. fracture resistance) of tungsten carbide can be changed by varying the particle size of tungsten carbide (WC), the content of cobalt (Co), and the additions of other carbides in the tungsten carbide, so that the tungsten carbide is widely used in a variety of occasions.

Tungsten carbide grit have a wide range of applications in the industrial field due to their high hardness, high melting point, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. The following are some specific application examples:

Coating preparation: Tungsten carbide grit can be used to prepare tungsten carbide coatings, which can significantly improve the hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of metal surfaces. Coating preparation techniques include physical vapour deposition (PVD) and chemical vapour deposition (CVD), etc. The coatings are widely used in the fields of tools, moulds, aerospace, automotive and machinery.

Tungsten Carbide Materials: Tungsten carbide is the key component of tungsten carbide, and these alloys are widely used in the manufacture of high-speed cutting lathes, kiln structural materials, jet engine components, metal ceramic materials, and resistive heating elements due to their ultra-hardness and abrasion resistance. By adjusting the particle size and chemical composition of tungsten carbide powder, the needs of different application scenarios can be met.

Wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings: The coatings that Tungsten carbide grit are used to prepare not only have extremely high hardness, but also good corrosion resistance, which makes them widely used in chemical industry, ocean engineering and other fields with harsh corrosion requirements.

Composite materials: Tungsten carbide grit are also used as a reinforcing phase to form composite materials by combining them with metal substrates. These materials exhibit excellent thermo-physical properties and friction and wear properties, making them suitable for high-performance industrial applications.
