Tungsten Carbide (TC) is one of the most versatile materials available for wear parts. It gives the following benefits:
High hardness and mechanical strength
Superior wear resistance
Good corrosion resistance
Easily withstands abrasive services
Good fracture toughness

Two primary grades of tungsten carbide are available - Nickel bonded TC and Cobalt bonded TC:
6% Nickel bindermateriale TC, giver øget korrosionsmodstand. Dette er en mindre almindelig TC en cobalt bindermaterialet. Den er en anelse blødere, men har bedre korrosionsmodstand. Anvendes ofte i ventiler og pumper (i kemisk aggressive miljøer).
6% Cobalt bindermateriale TC, giver højere hårdhed og bedre abrasion modstand. Dette er den mest almindelige form for tungsten carbide.
