Fused tungsten carbide powder is a specially treated powder that is controlled and screened. It is formulated to achieve an optimum value in hardness, abrasion, erosion, and impact resistance.
Fused tungsten carbide has a particularly high degree of hardness and wear resistance. It is primarily used in advanced wear protection and tooling technology.
Fused tungsten carbide powder is used for manufacturing diamond tools such as saw blades, core bits, drill bits, and other infiltrated components. It is also used in wear applications such as welding electrodes and wires.
