China Manufacturer Carbide Square Bar Tungsten Carbide Tool Parts

Tungsten carbide also plays an important role in mining and drilling. Drill bits in oil and gas drilling often contain tungsten carbide to cope with hard rocks and formations. The high hardness and abrasion resistance of tungsten carbide allows the drill bit to penetrate formations more quickly, increasing drilling efficiency. Meanwhile, in mining operations, tungsten carbide is also used to manufacture wear-resistant parts such as crusher hammer heads and grinding media to cope with harsh working conditions.

Tungsten carbide is also widely used in the manufacture of various wear-resistant parts and coatings. For example, in components such as bearings, sealing rings and nozzles, tungsten carbide coatings can significantly improve the wear and corrosion resistance of the parts and extend their service life. In addition, tungsten carbide films prepared by chemical vapor deposition and other methods are also widely used in electronic components, medical devices and other fields to improve the surface properties of the base material.

Tungsten carbide is chemically stable, insoluble in strong acids such as water, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, but readily soluble in a mixture of nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid. Pure tungsten carbide is fragile, but its brittleness can be reduced by doping a small amount of titanium, cobalt and other metals.

Due to its excellent properties such as high hardness, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance, tungsten carbide is the main raw material for the production of cemented carbide, which is widely used in cutting tools, molds, wear-resistant parts and other fields. Tungsten carbide coating has excellent wear resistance, impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and is used for surface treatment of bearings, valves, pumps and other parts.

In the aerospace field, tungsten carbide is used to manufacture high-temperature components such as nozzles for jet engines and blades for gas turbines. These components are required to operate at high temperatures, high speeds and in harsh environments, and tungsten carbide's high melting point and excellent thermal stability make it an ideal choice. Tungsten carbide is also used in the manufacture of ceramic cutting tools, abrasives and grinding tools. In ceramic processing, glass processing, stone processing and other industries, tungsten carbide tools are favored for their high hardness and wear resistance.
