Tungsten Carbide Nanoparticles

Product Overview

Tungsten carbide (WC) is an exceptionally hard compound, often referred to as the “hard king” due to its hardness approaching that of diamond. It also possesses excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Tungsten carbide nanoparticles, known for their high hardness, strength, and excellent resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, are widely used in mechanical manufacturing, coatings, energy, and electronics sectors.

Key Features

• High Hardness: With hardness close to that of diamond, it offers exceptional wear resistance.
• High Strength: Capable of withstanding substantial external forces and pressures.
• Good Chemical Stability: Remains stable in various chemical environments and is resistant to reactive conditions.
• Excellent High-Temperature Performance: Maintains structural and functional stability under extreme temperature conditions, suitable for aerospace and other high-temperature applications.

Applications

• Cutting Tools: Used in the production of hard carbide tools like drills and mills for metalworking.
• Mold Manufacturing: Employed in the production of stamping molds, injection molds, etc., to prolong mold life and improve precision.
• Surface Coatings: Tungsten carbide coatings are applied to the surfaces of other materials to enhance wear and corrosion resistance, such as in oil drilling equipment components.
• Protective Coatings: Used to protect mechanical parts from wear and corrosion.
• Fuel Cells: Acts as a catalyst carrier to improve fuel cell performance.
• Battery Electrode Materials: Holds potential as electrode material in lithium-ion and other new types of batteries.
• Electronic Packaging Materials: Due to its excellent thermal conductivity, it is used in chip packaging to improve heat dissipation.
