Tungsten carbide properties

Overview of tungsten carbide WC powder

Tungsten carbide is a compound composed of tungsten and carbon, with a molecular formula of WC and a molecular weight of 195.85. Tungsten carbide is a black hexagonal crystal with metallic luster and hardness similar to diamond. It is a good conductor of electricity and heat.

Tungsten carbide is a black hexagonal crystal system, soluble in a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia, but insoluble in cold water. Tungsten carbide is chemically stable.

Tungsten carbide is a gray powder with metallic luster. It is insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, but easily soluble in a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Pure tungsten carbide is fragile, if a small amount of titanium, cobalt and other metals are added, the brittleness can be reduced.

Tungsten carbide is a compound composed of tungsten and carbon, with a molecular formula of WC and a molecular weight of 195.85. The most basic form of tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed into shapes through a process called sintering and used in industrial machinery, cutting tools, abrasives, armor-piercing bullets, and jewelry.

The stiffness of tungsten carbide is about twice that of steel, and the Young's modulus is about 530-700 GPa (77,000 to 102,000 ksi), which is twice the density of steel and almost between lead and gold. Its hardness is comparable to that of corundum (α-Al2O3). Only cubic boron nitride and diamond powder, grinding wheels and compounds containing high-hardness abrasives can be polished and finished.

Tungsten carbide is a 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 easily soluble in a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Pure tungsten carbide is fragile. Adding a small amount of titanium, cobalt and other metals can reduce its brittleness. Tungsten carbide used as a steel tool is usually added with titanium carbide, tantalum carbide or their mixture to improve the anti-knock ability. Tungsten carbide is chemically stable. Tungsten carbide powder is used as a material for the production of cemented carbide.

Application of tungsten carbide WC powder

Tungsten carbide is widely used as high-speed cutting tools, furnace body structure materials, jet engine parts, cermet materials, resistance heating elements, etc., used to manufacture cutting tools, wear-resistant parts, and smelt copper, cobalt, bismuth, and wear-resistant semiconductor films.

Tungsten carbide is used as super-hard tool material and wear-resistant material.

Tungsten carbide can form a solid solution with many carbides. WC-TiC-Co carbide tools are widely used.

Tungsten carbide can also be used as a modified additive for NbC-C and TaC-C ternary carbides, which can reduce the sintering temperature and maintain excellent performance. Can be used as aerospace materials.

Tungsten carbide (WC) powder can also be synthesized with anhydrous tungsten (WO 3) and graphite in a reducing atmosphere at a high temperature of 1400 to 1600°C. Dense ceramic products can be obtained by hot pressing sintering or hot isostatic pressing sintering.

Tungsten carbide (WC) powder can also be used to produce high-performance nanocrystalline or ultrafine keratin alloys, hard-surface wear-resistant spraying and petrochemical cracking catalysts; chipless molding tools; cutting tools; mining costs; nanocomposites (used to improve Hardness, strength and wear resistance); corrosion-resistant coatings; wear-resistant coatings; corrosion-resistant coatings; wear-resistant parts.
