CG MATERIAL

Spherical Tungsten Carbide Powder (WC)

Spherical Tungsten Carbide Powder (WC)

Spherical tungsten carbide powder is a fine powder composed of spherical particles of tungsten carbide (WC) with a uniform particle size distribution. It is a high-performance material widely used in the production of cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and hardfacing alloys.

The spherical shape of the particles offers several advantages over irregularly shaped powders, such as improved flowability, reduced porosity, and increased packing density. These properties make it easier to produce high-quality, uniform coatings with good adhesion and improved wear resistance.

Spherical tungsten carbide powder is produced using advanced gas atomization technology, which involves rapidly cooling a molten alloy of tungsten and carbon in a high-pressure gas stream. This process creates a fine powder of uniform particle size and spherical shape, with an average particle size ranging from a few micrometers to several tens of micrometers.

Spherical tungsten carbide powder is an important material in the manufacturing of cutting tools for metalworking, woodworking, and mining industries. It is also used in the production of wear-resistant coatings for machinery parts, as well as in hardfacing alloys for industrial applications.
