High Precision G10 Tungsten Carbide Ball for Laboratory Use

Tungsten carbide is a hard material composed of a metal matrix composite where carbide particles act as the aggregate and a metallic binder serves as the matrix. It is one of the most successful composite engineering materials ever produced. Its unique combination of strength, hardness and toughness satisfies the most demanding applications. Tungsten carbide is used in machining tough materials such as cast iron or steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as mining tools and wear parts. Most of the time, carbide will leave a better finish on the part,and allow faster machining. Carbide tools can also withstand higher temperatures than standard high speed steel tools.
