The tungsten carbide wear parts are an ideal option for use in the most demanding wear applications because it will normally outlast steel by over ten times. In addition, with some special carbide grades the lifespan of the parts may even increase to 20 or even 30 times. Any worn steel components can be replaced and reverse engineered with superior performance tungsten carbide parts. These parts can also be used for many measurement and inspection applications because of the sturdiness, hardness and low coefficient of thermal expansion qualities it exhibits.

Applications

The tungsten carbide wear parts are often used in applications like control of material flows in pumps. They are also advantageous over other materials in areas of applications like atomizing, drying, water jet blasting, and paint spraying. Furthermore, they are also used to prevent some premature wear in industrial sectors including surface and sand blasting technology, mineral processing, pump and valve parts, roof tilting, agriculture, textile and paper industry, machine building industry, and oil and gas industry.

Tungsten carbide as a material is used because this component can typically have a high resistance to wear and thus, can be used at extreme high-temperatures too. It exhibits features like high strength, hardness, and toughness which significantly outperforms equivalent steel products in various operations.
