Tungsten Carbide

Tungsten carbide is used as a sputtering target material to create hard, wear-resistant thin films and protective coatings on mechanical components and cutting tools.

WC-Co and other tungsten carbide-based powders are extensively used in high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and plasma spraying to provide superior erosion and abrasion resistance.

Spherical tungsten carbide powders are utilized in additive manufacturing processes like binder jetting and laser powder bed fusion to produce complex, high-hardness industrial parts.

Due to its exceptionally high melting point and chemical stability, tungsten carbide is classified as a high-performance refractory compound for extreme environment applications.
