K20 TC Tungsten carbide rod

Tungsten carbide material features extreme wear resistance and hardness. The material is typically forged by the reaction of tungsten (W) metal and carbon (C) at 1400 to 2000°C. The result is a grey powder that can be pressed and formed into virtually any shape. When processing the powder into a shape, manufacturers use either a nickel or cobalt-bonding agent. Several chemical compositions can be used to provide better properties for varying applications.Properties of the 80-94% WC / 6-20% Ni:Density : 13.8-15 g/cm3Hardness : 81.5-89.5 HRABending strength : 1500-2250 N/mm2
