Our metallurgical history is a little bit like a game of Rock ... of tungsten carbide (WC). Tungsten carbide is made either by reacting powdered tungsten metal with graphite at high temperatures ...

Over time, advancements in tungsten carbide grain sizes have significantly influenced the hard metal industry. In the mid-1920s, grain sizes ranged from 2.0 to 5.0 µm. Today, the spectrum has widened ...

We have just completed an etching study of iron carbides made in three different ways and of some tungsten carbide (1/32-in. equilateral triangles) single crystals. The iron carbide studies ...

Tungsten carbide is a compound consisting of equal parts tungsten and carbon materials. It is one of the sturdiest chemical compounds used in manufacturing, with double the density of steel.
