Cemented carbide (WC) is an inorganic compound containing equal amounts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, it is a subtle gray powder, but it can be incorporated into industrial machinery, tools, abrasives, and into shapes for use. Cemented carbide has three times the carbon content of steel and a denser crystal structure than steel and titanium. Its hardness is comparable to that of diamond, and it can only be ground into cemented carbide, which is ground with cubic boron nitride abrasive.
Carbide rod is a new technology and new material. It is mainly used in the manufacture of metal cutting tools, the manufacture of products with hardness and wear resistance and corrosion resistance required for wood and plastics.
