Exote Designed New Metal As Hard As WC-Co Tungsten Carbide

The new material possesses excellent bullet-proofing qualities, and ballistic tests has proved its unequalled ability to stop armour-piercing bullets, according to Exote.

Exote says that the new material is as ecological alternative as WC-Co tungsten carbide, which contains tungsten carbide and cobalt, both of which are defined by the EU as critical.

The material withstands high temperatures and has high-level strength and durability, Exote claims. The metal is ideal for the manufacture of crusher blades and shear cutters, as well as exacting product tools. In ballistic protection it can be used for both personal and vehicle protection.

VTT and Exote Ltd have carried out further development on the material Exote has in production through the use of nano additives, which enable changing its toughness and hardness according to intended use.
