Application areas of tungsten carbide

Industrial manufacturing: Over 40% of tungsten carbide is used to manufacture hard alloy cutting tools such as turning tools, milling cutters, drills, etc., with a lifespan 5 to 10 times longer than traditional high-speed steel cutting tools. In mining and oil drilling, the hammer heads and drill bits of crushing equipment are widely used due to the super wear resistance of tungsten carbide.

High end manufacturing and daily life: Tungsten carbide is commonly used to make high-end consumer goods such as watch cases and pen tips. In the automotive field, Tesla Cybertruck is considering using tungsten carbide coating to enhance the wear resistance of the body, while Porsche is using it for the braking system.

Defense and Aerospace: Tungsten carbide is a key material for manufacturing armor piercing bullet cores, and its high density and hardness enable it to effectively penetrate armor. In the aerospace field, it can be used to manufacture engine comp
