The Uses of Tungsten Carbide Powder

Tungsten carbide powder is commonly used for hardfacing metals. Hardfacing is the process in which a tougher, harder material is applied to a softer base metal. Tungsten carbide improves the wear-resistant properties of a base metal. It is applied to mining equipment parts (shovel teeth, heel plates, bucket wheel excavator teeth, wear parts, crushing hammers, cutter drums and longwall miners), mineral processing equipment (hammers, chutes, pulverizing and grinding parts), earth-moving and construction equipment (grader blades, cutting edges, augers, trencher teeth, ground engaging tools and tunneling equipment), drilling tools, processing equipment and agriculture equipment (subsoilers, discs and injectors).

Tungsten Carbide Powder is Used to Manufacture Tools Used in the Diamond Industry

Tungsten carbide powder is used to manufacture tools used in the diamond industry, such as segments, grinding wheels and scape. According to the book "Exploring Advanced Manufacturing Technologies," tungsten carbide diamond cutting tools are made by sintering diamond powder to a tungsten carbide base and then cutting them into various shapes. These shapes are inserted or brazed in tool bodies and then ground to finished shape and sizes. Diamond tools are used to cut hard materials, such as stone, glass and porcelain.

Solid Carbide's Drawbacks

Solid carbide is more expensive than steel tools or carbide-tipped drills. In addition, solid carbide is brittle and must be used in a rigid, stable setup that minimizes vibration and movement. Solid carbide also requires a steady temperature or the tools may fracture. Flood coolant can keep carbide cool.

Tungsten Carbide is Used in Common Consumer Goods

Tungsten carbide is used in common consumer goods, including razor blades. Tungsten carbide powder is used in men's wedding bands to give them a dark hue and to improve their scratch-resistance. Tungsten carbide powder is used to make sporting equipment and devices, such as trekking poles, cross-country skis, bicycle studs and drive tracks for snowmobiles. Hikers and trekkers use tungsten carbide-tipped poles and walking sticks to reduce pressure on leg joints and for balance. They are effective in providing traction on rock surfaces.

What Does Solid Carbide Mean?

Carbide refers to a compound made from carbon and another element, usually tungsten. Carbide is used to make tools, such as drills and drill bits, because it is extremely strong. Solid carbide tools are made completely of carbide.
 
Solid Carbide's  Features 
Solid carbide tools are harder than steel and cut at higher temperatures. They also cut very accurately at high speeds, resulting in higher productivity. Solid carbide cuts abrasive materials, such as cast iron, glass and ceramics more effectively than steel.
