Tungsten Carbide Grit

Tungsten carbide grit is a premium, high-hardness abrasive material designed for demanding industrial applications such as abrasive blasting, hardfacing, wear protection, and cutting tools. Its angular crushed particles provide excellent abrasion resistance and aggressive cutting action, making it suitable for protecting surfaces and components exposed to severe wear. Airo Shot Blast Equipments, Jodhpur, manufactures and supplies tungsten grit in sizes from 0.8 mm to 12.7 mm, with flexible packaging options for industrial and bulk requirements.

What Is Tungsten Carbide Grit?

Tungsten carbide grit is made from tungsten and carbon, bonded with cobalt or nickel. The material is crushed into sharp, angular fragments and screened by size. It is also called crushed tungsten carbide or crushed cemented carbide grit. The fragments are a dull metallic grey with sharp edges. Those edges give the grit its aggressive cutting action and its grip when it is embedded in a matrix.

Tungsten carbide grit vs tungsten carbide powder

Tungsten carbide powder is very fine and is mostly used for thermal spray gun coatings and for making cemented carbide parts. Tungsten grit is coarser and angular. It is used where cutting, abrasion, or wear resistance is needed.

Colour and Appearance of Tungsten Grit

• Colour: dark grey to silver-grey with a metallic lustre. Fresh-crushed pieces look brighter, and stored grit goes dull grey.
• Shape: angular and blocky, with sharp cutting edges.
• Quality check: good grit looks uniformly grey, free of black dust, rust-coloured contamination, and loose fines. Discoloured or rust-stained grit often points to contamination or poor storage.

 How to Choose the Right Tungsten Carbide Grit Size

• Fine (about 0.25-1 mm): finishing, polishing, light blasting.
• Medium (about 1-3 mm): general blasting, tool grit, hole saws.
• Coarse (3 mm and above): hardfacing on bulldozer edges, bucket teeth, and crusher parts.

Benefits of Tungsten Grit

• Extreme hardness: at 89 HRA, it stays sharp far longer than common blasting media.
• Long wear life: high density (14.8 g/cm³) means fewer replacements on wear parts.
• Fast cutting: angular edges remove rust, scale, and material quickly.
• Works on many materials: metals, alloys, ceramics, concrete, and composites.
• Recyclable: can be recovered and reused in suitable processes, which lowers cost per job.
