what are tungsten carbide plates used for？

Tungsten carbide plates are made through powder metallurgy. The core component is tungsten carbide, and a small amount of metals such as cobalt (Co) are added as binders. The finished tungsten carbide plate has a HRC hardness of up to 80-90, second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride. These properties make tungsten carbide plates a good helper for high-loss and high-demand industrial scenarios.

One of the most common applications of tungsten carbide plates is for the manufacture of cutting tools, including milling inserts, turning tools, drills, etc. Especially when processing high-hardness metal materials, tungsten carbide exhibits excellent cutting performance and service life. It is suitable for processing difficult-to-process materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and alloy steel.

In the face of mining, tungsten carbide plates can become the core material of rock drill bits and coal mining machine pick linings, which greatly improve mining efficiency with impact resistance and wear resistance; tungsten carbide plates also perform well in corrosive environments, can be used as reactor agitators and oil pipe linings, are resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and extend service life; in the electronics field, the high thermal conductivity of tungsten carbide plates makes them a heat dissipation substrate for high-power chips and thyristors, quickly dissipating heat to avoid equipment downtime due to overheating; in addition to heavy industry, tungsten carbide plates can also be used as armor protection layers and artillery warhead linings in weapons and equipment.

The core competitiveness of tungsten carbide plates lies in "solving wear problems". Whether it is mechanical friction, high temperature impact or chemical corrosion, it can greatly extend the life of equipment and reduce maintenance costs. For companies pursuing efficient production, choosing tungsten carbide plates is not "cost increase" but "long-term investment."
