Tungsten carbide is an alloy primarily composed of tungsten carbide (WC) and a metallic binder, typically cobalt. This material is highly valued for its hardness, wear resistance, and ability to withstand deformation even at high temperatures, making it ideal for applications requiring exceptional performance under high mechanical and thermal stress. Tungsten carbide is commonly used in the production of cutting tools, mills, drills, machine inserts, and in mining and oil industries, where abrasion resistance is crucial. Due to its extreme hardness and stability, tungsten carbide is the material of choice for precision operations and machining of hard and tough materials.
