From Industrial Use to Fashion: The Versatility of Tungsten Carbide
Composed largely of tungsten carbide (WC) fragments bound with a metal binder, such as cobalt, cemented carbide combines the strength of tungsten with the toughness of various other steels. The composition of cemented carbides can be tailored to fit specific applications, leading to the production of ranges like YG15, yg20, and yg6 tungsten carbide
