Tungsten Carbide Powder
Tungsten Carbide Powder is often used to create hard metals for cutting steel. Once mixed with cobalt and binder, tungsten carbide is pressed and sintered. Sintered tungsten carbide is one of the hardest substances known to man, and is used to cut steel, drill circuit boards and a multitude of other high tech applications in the automobile and aerospace industries, and beyond.
