- High hardness and mechanical strength
- Superior wear resistance- Good corrosion resistance
- Easily withstands abrasive service
- Good fracture toughness
Two primary grades of tungsten carbide are available
- Nickel bonded TC and Cobalt bonded TC
- 6% Nickel bonded TC, gives enhanced corrosion resistance
- 6% Cobalt bonded TC, provides higher hardness and better abrasion resistance.
