Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt

Tungsten carbide cobalt is an alloy of a hard ceramic phase, the tungsten carbide (WC) and a ductile metallic phase, the cobalt (Co). Hard metals such as WC-Co are non-natural materials not occurring in nature. They are produced by mixing carbide and metal powders, a forming step and a thermal treatment (sintering).

From hard metals, mainly tools are produced for chipping (turning, milling, drilling) or non-chipping shaping (drawing, rolling, spinning), as well as for cutting (stamping) or breaking of metals, wood, paper, plastic, stone, and coal. Further, surgery equipment is produced from WC-Co.

Tungsten cobalt carbide’s trademark is composed by "YG" (the first letter of word “hard and Co” in Chinese) and the average percentage of cobalt content. For example, YG8, the composition of Co is 8%, the rest is tungsten carbide.
