Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Powder (WC-12Co) Description
Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Powder (WC-12Co) is a high-performance material made up of micro-sized tungsten carbide particles dispersed within a cobalt matrix. While WC alone offers impressive hardness and wear resistance, it can be somewhat brittle. The addition of cobalt strengthens the material by binding the WC particles together, creating a unique combination that delivers exceptional mechanical properties, superior hardness, and improved wear resistance. The powder is precisely engineered to ensure uniform nanoparticle distribution, enabling accurate control for a variety of applications.
