⚙️ Available Grades
1. WC (Pure Tungsten Carbide Powder)
Description:
Pure WC powder is a high-purity, submicron or micron-sized carbide material ideal for sintering, additive manufacturing, and cemented carbide production.
Key Features:
Purity: ≥ 99.9% (metal basis)
High hardness (HV 2200–2400) and density (15.6 g/cm³)
Excellent sinterability and particle uniformity
Controlled carbon balance to prevent η-phase formation
Applications:
Cutting tools, dies, and wear-resistant parts
Powder metallurgy
Additive manufacturing (3D printing feedstock)
---
2. WC10Co4Cr (Tungsten Carbide 10% Cobalt 4% Chromium)
Description:
A premium thermal-spray grade designed for HVOF/HVAF coatings, offering a perfect balance of hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Chromium addition improves oxidation resistance and coating adhesion, making this grade ideal for demanding wear and erosion environments.
Key Features:
Nominal Composition: WC ~ 86%, Co 10%, Cr 4%
High hardness: HV 1100–1250 (HVOF coating)
Excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance
Uniform spherical or agglomerated-sintered morphology for smooth spraying
Available particle sizes: –45 + 15 µm, –15 + 5 µm
Applications:
Thermal spray coatings (HVOF, HVAF, Plasma)
Pump sleeves, valve seats, hydraulic pistons
Oil & gas and chemical process components
Mining and construction tools

3. WC12Co (Tungsten Carbide 12% Cobalt)
Description:
An industry-standard hardfacing and thermal-spray powder offering superior toughness and impact resistance, thanks to its optimized cobalt binder ratio. This grade provides enhanced performance under abrasive and erosive wear with medium corrosion exposure.
Key Features:
Nominal Composition: WC ~ 88%, Co 12%
High toughness with good wear resistance
Dense, uniform coatings with excellent bond strength
Suitable for both flame and HVOF spray systems
Applications:
Hardfacing of tools and mechanical components
Mining, construction, and agricultural wear parts
Cutting edges, drill bits, and dies
