Things To Know About Tungsten Carbide Parts

By Joshua Turner


This is a compound that is one of the many carbides that are out there. An easy way to understand carbides is by thinking of them as one part carbon and one part of some other element that is not as electronegative as the carbon. Tungsten carbide parts are equally composed of carbon and tungsten, and together they make one of the strongest compounds out there for making the most high-quality tools.

A fine powder that is gray in appearance is the most basic form of this compound to be in. Pressing and forming this powder can allow it to be shaped for virtually any desired purpose. Things like cutting tools, industrial machinery, abrasives, and even jewelry have all been transformed by this material.

When many people think of a strong material, steel is often among the top ones that come to mind. This particular compound is not only twice as dense as steel, but it is also twice as strong. A material of this strength requires a specialty substance like diamond powder in order to polish it.

Peter Woulfe was the first person to discover the essential element in this compound. This is why for many years it was called things like Wolfram, Wolf Rahm, as well as wolframite ore. It is easy to understand why the word "tungsten" was chosen since in Swedish this is a word that means "heavy stone", a very fitting description of this compound.

There are numerous different types of carbides out there. In spite of this, since this particular compound is used so much in the machining and carpentry industry, it is often simply referred to as "carbide", which can be important to know for anyone new to this industry trying to understand what people are saying. On the other hand, the general public who uses rings made of this material often just call it tungsten.

Cutting tools have to be made out of a very strong material to be able to last a long time and cut through other extremely strong materials. The benefits of drills and other cutting devices made out of this include an added resistance to abrasions, meaning they can work for a longer period of time on more jobs without wearing out. It is also nice that these types of drills are more resistant to temperature than other ones.

For surgical operations, the very best tools are needed because there are human beings' lives at stake in these procedures, and it is worth it that they are more expensive. Open surgery tools such as scissors, blade handles, forceps, and hemostats can all work better when they are made from this compound. Laparoscopic surgical tools include things like graspers, cauteries, and needle holders.

Jewelry that gets scratched and worn out in no time at all is a sad thing, and since gold and other precious metals are actually relatively soft, this kind of thing is known to happen all the time with standard jewelry. This can also lead to bending and warping, which can cause painful pinching of the fingers as well as lost gems. That is why so many people are wanting to buy jewelry made out of this material since it is highly resistant to these things.
