II. Material Properties: Outstanding and Extraordinary

Tungsten carbide components, primarily composed of tungsten carbide (WC) and metal elements such as cobalt (Co) through careful proportioning, exhibit a series of remarkable material properties. Their hardness is second only to diamond and far exceeds that of ordinary steel, enabling tungsten carbide components to maintain a long service life under high loads and high-speed cutting. At the same time, they possess excellent wear resistance, maintaining stable performance in harsh environments for extended periods. Furthermore, tungsten carbide exhibits superior corrosion resistance, standing up to acidic, alkaline, and other corrosive media. Worth mentioning is its toughness and impact resistance, which also perform well, allowing it to withstand heavy loads and impacts without damage.

III. Production Process: Pursuit of Perfection

The production process of tungsten carbide components can be described as a precise and complex craftsmanship feast. From the strict selection and proportioning of raw materials to uniform mixing in a mixer, and then to pressing and shaping in a mold, each step embodies the wisdom and sweat of craftsmen. Finally, after high-temperature sintering in a sintering furnace, the metal elements in the raw materials undergo chemical reactions to form a dense cemented carbide material. Subsequent grinding, polishing, and other processing steps further enhance the precision and surface quality of the tungsten carbide components.
