What are Tungsten Carbide Sheets & Plates?

Tungsten Carbide is a composite material made from tungsten and carbon atoms, typically bonded with cobalt or nickel. It is widely recognized for its extreme hardness and resistance to wear, making it ideal for applications requiring durability under abrasive and high-stress conditions.

Key Functions:

  • Provide exceptional hardness and wear resistance
  • Perform under high stress and impact conditions
  • Resist abrasion and deformation
  • Ensure long-term durability in industrial applications

Chemical Composition of Tungsten Carbide

Typical Composition:

  • Tungsten Carbide (WC): 85% – 97%
  • Cobalt (Co) / Nickel (Ni): 3% – 15% (binder)

The binder content enhances toughness while maintaining hardness.
