About tungsten carbide powder

Tungsten carbide powder is a fine gray powder, which can be pressed as well as formed into many shapes via the process of sintering. It has numerous uses in cutting tools, abrasives, industrial machinery, jewellery, armor-piercing shells etc. Tungsten carbide powder can be quenched by ordinary hardening, isothermal quenching and graded quenching. It has resistance to high elastic modular and acids. This is a promising catalytic substantial, suited for many electrochemical applications.

Exceptional Physical and Chemical Properties

Tungsten carbide powder stands out for its uncompromising purity of 99.5% and a fine particle size distribution (1-10 microns). With a high melting point (~2870C) and robust thermal conductivity (~84 W/mK), it excels in challenging environments. Its neutral pH, non-magnetic nature, and insolubility in most acids and water make it suitable for various industrial processes.

Wide Range of Industrial Applications

This industrial-grade WC powder is primarily employed in the manufacture of hardmetal tools, mining implements, cutting tools, wear-resistant components, and for thermal spray coating processes. Its exceptional hardness and durability extend tool life and optimize performance, making it indispensable in mining, machining, and material engineering sectors.

Packaging, Handling, and Storage Guidelines

Tungsten carbide powder is shipped in sealed drums or bags to preserve quality and prevent contamination. For best results, it should be stored in a cool, dry area, away from oxidizing agents. Proper handling is crucial, as inhalation of powder or fume can pose health risks, despite the material being non-poisonous in bulk form.

FAQs of tungsten carbide powder:

Q: How should tungsten carbide powder be stored to maintain its shelf life?

A: To maximize its 24-month shelf life, tungsten carbide powder should be stored in a cool, dry location, away from sources of moisture and oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and deterioration.

Q: What industrial processes use tungsten carbide powder and why?

A: Tungsten carbide powder is used in the production of hardmetal tools, mining implements, cutting tools, wear-resistant parts, and thermal spray coatings. Its extreme hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance make it ideal for these demanding applications.

Q: When is it necessary to customize the particle size of tungsten carbide powder?

A: Particle size customization is necessary when specific applications require certain mechanical or surface properties. For example, finer particles enhance surface finish in coatings, while coarser sizes may be preferred for pressing and sintering in tool manufacturing.

Q: Where is this tungsten carbide powder produced and supplied from?

A: This product is manufactured and exported from China and is available through suppliers and exporters in India, ensuring global access and prompt delivery.

Q: What safety precautions should be taken when handling tungsten carbide powder?

A: While bulk tungsten carbide is non-poisonous, inhaling dust or fumes can be toxic. Always handle the powder in well-ventilated areas, use appropriate personal protective equipment (masks and gloves), and avoid generating airborne dust.

Q: What are the benefits of using this industrial grade tungsten carbide powder?

A: Using this high-purity, industrial-grade tungsten carbide powder ensures enhanced tool life, superior hardness, excellent wear resistance, and reliable thermal and electrical conductivity, all of which lead to better productivity and cost savings in demanding industrial sectors.
