The Astonishing Applications of Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide is a material widely used in many settings due to its incredible hardness and durability. Its many uses span across a variety of settings, such as cutting tools, wear parts, dies and molds, orthopedic implants, drill bits, wind turbine components, exploration equipment, abrasives, and even the jewelry industry.
Cutting Tools
Tungsten carbide is used to create hardened tips and cutting edges for a number of drills, end mills, taps, reamers, and other types of tooling used to perform material-removing processes.
Wear Parts
Items like bulldozer blades, excavator teeth, conveyor skip plates, and chute liners require excellent wear-resistance and tungsten carbide provides just that.
Dies and Molds
Forming and stamping dies used in shaping metals and plastics require a material that can withstand repeated use and high pressure. Tungsten carbide fits this criteria.
Orthopedic Implants
Biocompatibility and mechanical strength are just two of the main requirements that tungsten carbide meets when used in joint replacement components, like knee and hip prosthetics.
Drill Bits
Drilling operations in oil and gas fields need drill bits that are durable and can efficiently drill through hard rock underwater. This is why tungsten carbide is the material of choice for these applications.
Wind Turbine Components
Durability is key in the wind turbine industry and it is no surprise that tungsten carbide is used in its gear systems and blade pitch mechanisms in order to keep wear surfaces protected.
Exploration Equipment
Coring bits, underreamers and industrial core drills are all commonly used in exploration equipment and have tungsten carbide as a key component due to its hardness.
Abrasives
Tungsten carbide is processed into particles and grains that are sometimes used as coated and bonded abrasives for polishing and grinding applications.
Jewelry Industry
Finally, tungsten carbide is also used in the jewelry industry, applied in decorative components for rings, cufflinks, and pendants due to its density and color properties.
