Tungsten carbide rod is a sintered metallurgical product of powder form. It is manufactured in vacuum or Hydrogen reduction furnace with refractory Tungsten material (WC) micron powder as the main ingredient and Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni) or Molybdenum (Mo) as the binder.
Tungsten carbide rod has many excellent characteristics such as high hardness and strength, good wear and corrosion resistance and salient stability under high temperature (even at 500 ºC it is essentially unchanged and at 1000 ºC it is still of high hardness). It can be used to cut cast iron, nonferrous metals, plastics, chemical fiber, stainless steel and high Manganese steel, etc., and make drilling tools, mining tools, wear parts, precision bearings, nozzles and metal molds, etc.
