Solid carbide (or tungsten carbide): an essential material for modern industry
Solid carbide, or hard metal, is an exceptional composite material, obtained by cementing tungsten carbide grains into a cobalt or nickel metal matrix through sintering. This unique combination gives the material remarkable mechanical properties: near-diamond hardness, higher density than steel and titanium, and exceptional wear resistance. Tungsten carbide, the most widely used variant, is particularly […]
