Tungsten carbide has revolutionized industrial applications with its superior hardness and wear resistance, where standard steel fails within hours. With a 1,500-1,900 HV hardness, 600 MPa transverse fracture strength and excellent corrosion resistance, tungsten carbide parts can extend equipment life by 5-10 times in abrasive, high-pressure and chemically aggressive environments. As industries continue to seek materials that combine long life and high performance, tungsten carbide stands out as the material of choice.
Tungsten carbide is a composite material made from tungsten and carbon atoms. Known for its exceptional hardness, it is nearly as hard as diamond, making it ideal for cutting and drilling applications. Its durability ensures that tools last longer, providing cost-effective solutions for industries that require reliable performance under extreme conditions.
In the oil and gas industry, tungsten carbide tools are indispensable. These sectors demand equipment that can withstand high pressure and abrasive environments. Tungsten carbide is used in drill bits and wear parts, which are crucial for efficient extraction and processing. The material’s ability to maintain its integrity under stress minimizes downtime and enhances productivity.
