Tungsten Carbide

Surface Engineering has extensive experience with solutions utilizing tungsten carbide in matrixes with nickel, iron, copper, and cobalt alloys. The utilization of tungsten carbide is employed when an alloy is insufficient in the most extreme conditions. These tungsten carbide based matrixes are incorporated into our CARBORIDE products where SPECIALLOY nickel alloys, iron, cobalt, and copper based materials are compounded with tungsten carbide at various percentages to further target extreme wear. These CARBORIDE matrixes enhance the bonding materials for specific wear types like corrosion, abrasion, erosion, impact and cavitation or combinations of wear modes. Tungsten carbide matrices are often used in applications like MIG, oxy fuel rod, PTA, laser, spray fuse infiltration and hot press.
