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.
