Spherical Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt Powder Description
Spherical Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt Powder is a kind of cemented carbide composed of WC and Co metal, according to the different cobalt content can be divided into high cobalt (≥20%), medium cobalt (≥10%), low cobalt (≥3%) three categories, cobalt as binder phase, tungsten carbide as hard phase. The radiofrequency plasma spheroidized WC-Co hard alloy powder has the characteristics of uniform distribution of cobalt elements, high sphericity, good fluidity, large loose loading density, compact particle interior, less hollow powder, etc.
