Tungsten Carbide Coating

Tungsten Carbide Coating

Tungsten is known as one of the most precious and rare metals in nature and it is the only type combined with other elements in nature, so it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to access its pure form. is. It is possible to find this type of material in shale and tungsten rocks. The melting and boiling point of this metal is very high so that its melting point is 3422 ° C and boiling point is 5555 ° C. . Regarding the density of this type of metal, it can be said that it is almost close to the density of gold and uranium and is 30.19 times the density of water. The metal tungsten carbide is very resistant to corrosion and you may be interested to know that this element is present in the structure of some bacteria, but not for its evolved species. In many cases Tungsten metal may oxidize, making it possible to greatly reduce it by using carbon or hydrogen in the oxidation process. It is light gray in color and has a very high hardness, ie about several times the hardness of steel, but this metal is quite brittle and also the ability to work with it is very low, but after the refining process, considering that it is still It has its own difficulties, but it has the possibility of being malleable and working on this type of metal is easier than before. Among the operations that can be done with this type of metal are: various shapes such as: forging, extrusion and ... It is interesting to know that one of the metals that is widely used in the world of jewelry and fashion is metal It is tungsten. This metal has the property of not causing allergies on the skin, which has made it widely used in the world of jewelry and rhinestones. The total use of tungsten and its alloys is divided into 13 main categories: Lighting industry Electronics industry High temperature technology Welding Medical engineering, radiation and X-ray production Military Metallurgy Alloy steels Super alloys Tungsten carbide Heavy metals (heavy metals) Detectors Sports
