Made of tungsten and carbon, this material is notable for a hardness approaching that of diamond. Tungsten carbide is used to make industrial tools and parts that wear under heavy stress, and makes drilling, grinding and milling of metals far more effective and economical.
From HC Starck’s wide range, Galtek Kimya supplies high-purity tungsten carbide powders from ultra-fine grains below 0.5 µm up to grains averaging 70 µm.
