Tungsten Carbide Properties
The following is a list of Tungsten Carbide Properties. Different
Grades of Tungsten Carbide will differ in Strength, Rigidity, and
other Properties, but all Tungsten Carbide Material falls into the
basic properties listed below. For more indepth information on the
properties of specific grades of Tungsten carbide, or more
information on Carbide and other tool Materials visit our Tool
Tipping Material Index.
Strength - Tungsten carbide has very high strength for a
material so hard and rigid. Compressive strength is higher than
virtually all melted and cast or forged metals and alloys.
Rigidity - Tungsten carbide compositions range from two to
three times as rigid as steel and four to six times as rigid as
cast iron and brass. Young’s Modulus is up to 94,800,000 psi.
High resistance to deformation and deflection is very
valuable in those many applications where a combination of minimum
deflection and good ultimate strength merits first consideration.
These include spindles for precision grinding and rolls for strip
or sheet metal.
Impact Resistant - For such a hard material with very high
rigidity, the impact resistance is high. It is in the range of
hardened tool steels of lower hardness and compressive strength.
