Tungsten Carbide (TC) is one of the most versatile materials available for wear parts.It gives the following benefits:
- High hardness and mechanical strength
- Superior wear resistance
- Good corrosion resistance
- Easily withstands abrasive services
- (Good fracture toughness)
Two primary grades of tungsten carbide are available - Nickel bonded TC and Cobalt bonded TC:
- 6% Nickel bonded TC, gives enhanced corrosion resistance
- 6% Cobalt bonded TC, provides higher hardness and better abrasion resistance.
Technical data of our material is as below:
| Parameter | Unit | 6% Ni - TC | 6% Co - TC |

| Binder | 6% Nickel | 6% Cobalt | |
| Crystal Size | µ m | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| Hardness | Rockwell | HRA 89.5 | HRA 90 |
| Minimum Transverse Rupture Strength | MPa | 1800 | 1800 |
| psi | 261, 000 | 261, 000 |
