Applications of Tungsten Carbide Plate

Applications of Tungsten Carbide Plate 

Tungsten carbide plates are one of the many materials made of tungsten carbide, which are produced by metallurgical methods of powdering, ball milling, pressing and sintering. The content of WC and Co in tungsten steel plates for different applications varies.

Tungsten carbide plates have excellent hardness, high hardness, good wear resistance, high modulus of elasticity, high compressive strength, good chemical stability (acid, alkali and high temperature oxidation resistance), low impact toughness, low coefficient of expansion, thermal and electrical conductivity similar to that of iron and its alloys. In just fifty years, the use of tungsten carbide turning tools has increased metal cutting speeds by a factor of two hundred, from ten metres per minute to over two thousand metres per minute. The heat-resistant tungsten carbide still retains good elasticity and mechanical strength and is generally used for thicker cuts, interrupted cuts and poor part clamping. The coating gives good results in all types of materials up to HRC 50°. 1 to 2 times longer service life and excellent impact resistance compared to normal tungsten carbide.
