Tungsten Hardness

Tungsten is a metal element with high hardness, high melting point, high boiling point, low vapor pressure and other characteristics, is an indispensable modern metal elements. It is regarded as teeth of industry.

Tungsten is a natural "tough guy", the hardness is Mohs 7.5, although it is not the hardest in the metal family, but tungsten carbide hardness is second only to diamonds. Tungsten carbide is characterized by high hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5), wear resistance, strength and toughness, by virtue of this first-class "skill", tungsten carbide is widely used in high-precision machining, precision tool material, lathe, impact drill bit, glass cutter head, tile cutte, can also be used for drilling tools, mining tools, measuring gauges, wearing parts, metal abrasive, cylinder lining, precision bearings, senior watches and so on. In addition, the defense industry also uses tungsten carbide in various parts, such as rifles, bullets, armor-piercing, high explosive bullet and even missiles and fighters and so on. It is due to tungsten characteristics of hardness that they have infinite showing space.
