Tungsten carbide powder properties

Overview of tungsten carbide WC powder

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 soluble in mixed acids of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Pure tungsten carbide is brittle, if a small amount of titanium, cobalt and other metals are added, its brittleness can be reduced. Tungsten carbide used for steel knives is usually added with titanium carbide, tantalum carbide or a mixture thereof to improve knock resistance. Tungsten carbide is chemically stable. Tungsten carbide powder is used as a material for the production of cemented carbide.

Tungsten carbide powder properties

Tungsten carbide powder is dark gray powder and can be dissolved in various carbides, especially in titanium carbide, which has a high solubility, forming a TiC-WC solid solution. Another compound of tungsten and carbon is ditungsten carbide, the chemical formula is W2C, the melting point is 2860°C, the boiling point is 6000°C, and the relative density is 17.15. Its properties, preparation methods and uses are the same as those of tungsten carbide powder.

Appearance quality of tungsten carbide powder

The appearance of tungsten carbide powder is gray, and the color increases from dark to light as the particle size of the product increases. The color should be uniform with no visible inclusions.

Application of tungsten carbide WC powder

Cemented carbide is widely used as high-speed cutting tools, furnace structural materials, jet engine parts, cermet materials, resistance heating elements, etc., for the manufacture of cutting tools, wear-resistant parts and melting crucibles for metals such as copper, cobalt, and cobalt. Bismuth, wear-resistant semiconductor film.

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

Tungsten carbide can form solid solutions with many carbides. WC-TiC-Co carbide tools have been widely used.

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

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

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 forming tools; cutting tools; mining fees; nanocomposites (for improving hardness, strength and wear resistance); corrosion-resistant coatings; wear-resistant coatings; corrosion-resistant coatings; wear-resistant parts.
