Tungsten Carbide Powder

This highly pure state is extremely electrically conductive and is primarily used in electrical applications, along with organic dyes, pigment phosphors, and x-ray screens. Tungsten has been used for a number of years in various industries. Tungsten is valued for its resistance to heat and chemicals, as well as for its ability to increase hardness of metals when used as an alloy.

Tungsten powder is prepared by hydrogen reduction, which is capable of producing tungsten powder with many different grain sizes. Tungsten powder has often been pressed into bars, sintered and forged into thin rods and used to create bulb filaments.

Airo Shot Blast Equipments fabricates tungsten carbide powders in a variety of sizes from our internally created tungsten powders for use in a variety of hard material items. Circuit board drills, sand blasting nozzles, and end factories all use our miniature grain tungsten carbide powders. Cutting instruments and embeds both use fine WC powders. Mining devices, energy boring apparatuses, wear and kick the bucket parts, and street development bits all require medium and super coarse powders. Airo Shot Blast Equipments tungsten carbide powders' physical and chemical properties are carefully controlled to ensure consistency in part-to-parcel execution.

Product Description

Purity of the powder is important, and depends on its intended use. Tungsten powder comes packaged in lined drums and can be produced to custom specifications. In the early 1900's, tungsten powder metallurgy began and tungsten became very popular because of its versatility and characteristics. In powder metallurgy, it is possible to create parts and components that would otherwise disintegrate. Tungsten powder adds strength to other metals when it is added, making it very important to manufacturers.

Because tungsten is a stable element, tungsten powder is believed to have no harmful effects on human health outside of possible irritation to the eyes and lungs if exposed. Due to its significant weight, the use of tungsten powder in military applications is thought to be superior than the more commonly used material, lead. Though tungsten, when a solid material, is difficult to manufacture due to its excessive hardness, when a powder, it can be compacted, thus more easily handled.

The many benefits of using tungsten powder are due to its purity and particle size. Depending on the quality of the particle grading and the consistency of the particle shapes, powdered tungsten, when pressed together within a bullet at pressures of 20,000 to 50,000 pounds per square inch (psi), will break apart on impact and spread excessively over a wide area, accomplishing a greater intended result. Air spaces between irregular-shaped particles cause the powder to lump, ultimately decreasing its effectiveness. Hydrogen-reduced tungsten powder, when faultlessly graded, can provide close to the same amount of compacted density as a solid metal.

Tungsten Carbide Powder for Sale

• Standard Tungsten Carbide Powder- Tungsten Carbide Powders are available in sizes ranging from 0.8 micron to 50 micron. To achieve the best results, the carbon content is carefully monitored and blended into uniform, homogeneous lots.
• MacroCrystalline Tungsten Carbide Powder- MacroCrystalline Tungsten Carbide Powder is classified by mesh size and exceeds the FSSS scale for particle size measurement. To ensure consistent, high-quality carbide powders, special carburization techniques are used.
• Crushed Tungsten Carbide- Fully sintered tungsten carbide hardmetal that has been crushed and pulverised with sizes ranging from 200 mesh to 1/4 inch is known as crushed tungsten carbide material.
• Cast Tungsten Carbide- Cast carbide is a mixture of the carbide phases WC and W2C. It's made by casting molten carbide and quenching it quickly. Cast carbide has a high hardness and resistance to abrasion.

Uses of Tungsten Carbide Powder

Tungsten powder is also used in electrical contacts, airbag deployment systems and as the primary material used to produce tungsten wire. The powder is also used in other automotive and aerospace applications.
