TS3153 Tungsten Carbide/Nickel Powder (WC90-Ni10)

Tungsten Carbide/Nickel Powder (WC90-Ni10) Description

Tungsten Carbide/Nickel Powder (WC90-Ni10) is a composite material that combines the exceptional hardness and wear resistance of tungsten carbide with the desirable properties of nickel. Nickel as a binder material bonds the WC particles together to improve WC alloy’s strength and cohesion. Also nickel improves the toughness, ductility of the composite, and corrosion resistance. The powder consists of fine tungsten carbide particles uniformly dispersed in a nickel matrix, offering a unique combination of strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
