Cemented carbide is mainly composed of carbide (WC, TiC) micron powder of high hardness refractory metal, with cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo) as binder, in a vacuum furnace or hydrogen Powder metallurgy products sintered in a reduction furnace.

Carbide wear parts
Cemented carbide has excellent properties, so it is widely used in industry. Good wear resistance and high hardness make it suitable for the manufacture of wear-resistant parts, mechanical parts and wire drawing dies that are resistant to high temperature, friction and corrosion. Today, cemented carbide is an ideal choice to replace steel in a variety of industrial applications.

As small as the tip of a ballpoint pen, as large as a punching machine, a wire drawing die, or a rolling mill used in the steel industry, the wear-resistant parts can be produced with cemented carbide.

Most carbide wear parts are made directly from tungsten cobalt
