Hardness
While both materials are much harder than other metals, such as gold and silver, tungsten carbide is harder than titanium and is much harder to engrave.

Ductile
Titanium is more ductile than tungsten carbide. Titanium will bend under high pressure while tungsten carbide will shatter under high pressure.

Weight
Tungsten carbide is much heavier than titanium. Tungsten carbide weighs over 90 percent more than stainless steel while titanium is 43 percent lighter than stainless steel.

Price
Titanium is typically cheaper than tungsten carbide because tungsten carbide has higher production costs. Tungsten is formed in conditions where temperatures exceed 6,000 degrees F.

Applications
Titanium has applications in the aircraft and aircraft missile production industries because it is a very strong but light material. Tungsten carbide is used in many applications, including grinding, machining and polishing.

1. Locate the packaging for all tools that use hardened metal tips such as end-mills, drill bits, cutters and saw blades.

2. Read the labels on the packaging. If the packaging indicates the tips of these tools are hardened carbide, they have cobalt mixed in with the alloy. As you use these tools, they wear down and create dust contaminated with cobalt.

3. Locate the packaging for any tungsten carbide raw materials. All raw materials have a "material safety data sheet." The MSDS must indicate all of the ingredients used in the manufacturer of the raw materials. If the carbide has cobalt in it, it is listed on the MSDS.

Tungsten alloys, being used in battlefield munitions to make them less toxic may cause cancer in soldiers wounded by them.

Researchers at the Forces Radiobiology Research Institute implanted pellets of the tungsten alloys in rats to simulate shrapnel wounds from the weapons. Some rats received high-dose pellets, some low-dose and some pellets of other material for controlled comparison.

All of the rats implanted with tungsten developed extremely aggressive tumors surrounding the pellets. Though the tumors in the low-dose individuals grew more slowly, all of the tumors spread rapidly to the lungs of the rats, requiring researchers to euthanize the animals well before the anticipated end of the study.

Tungsten alloys generally have two-phase composites consisting of W-Ni- Fe or W-Ni-Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe, some tungsten alloy is added Co、Mo、Cr, etc . Tungsten content in conventional heavy alloys varies from 85 to 97 weight percent and is the reason for their high density, the density between 16.5 and 18.5 g/cc. It could be made as various shapes, such as rod, ball, cylinder, brick, ring, etc.

As tungsten alloy cubes are high density with small capacity, high temperature resistance, high impact resistance and crack resistance, wonderful shock resistance, good corrosion resistance, High absorption capacity against X-rays and gamma rays, Good modulus of elasticity, High hardness, etc.

Tungsten alloy cubes is in small volume with high density, which means it could be used in military field, such as penetrating projectiles, counterweights for military defense, projectiles in the missile weapons, armor piercing ammunition, prefabricated fragments.
