Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Powder WC-Co

Tungsten Carbide Cobalt (typecal type WC-12Co) is a fine, high-purity refractory alloy powder composed of tungsten, carbon, and cobalt atoms in the form of microparticles. WC-12Co is a high-performance material made up of micro-sized tungsten carbide particles dispersed within a cobalt matrix. WC alone offers impressive hardness and wear resistance which can be somewhat brittle. The addition of cobalt improves the material properties by binding the WC particles together with superior hardness and wear resistance and minimum brittleness.

Product Description

Tungsten Carbide Cobalt (typecal type WC-12Co) is a fine, high-purity refractory alloy powder composed of tungsten, carbon, and cobalt atoms in the form of microparticles. WC-12Co is a high-performance material made up of micro-sized tungsten carbide particles dispersed within a cobalt matrix. WC alone offers impressive hardness and wear resistance which can be somewhat brittle. The addition of cobalt improves the material properties by binding the WC particles together with superior hardness and wear resistance and minimum brittleness.

Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Powder is commonly used in the production of cutting and machining, mining and drilling tools, such as inserts, drills, end mills, and saw blades. Its high hardness and wear resistance make it ideal for use in these applications, where the tools need to withstand high temperatures, abrasion, and impact. Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Powder is also utilized in aerospace and defense industries, such as turbine blades, armor-piercing projectiles, and parts for rocket engines. various industries.

WC-12Co powders in spray area are most commonly applied using HVOF or atmospheric plasma spray to produce very dense, well-bonded coatings. These coatings provide excellent abrasive wear up to 500°C. The materials contain fine-grained carbides for resistance against abrasive grains, hard surfaces, particle erosion and fretting wear mechanisms. Compared to coatings of WC-17Co, the reduced matrix content leads to coatings that are less ductile with higher hardness and better wear resistant.

Our WC-12Co powders are prepared by Sintering & Crushing or Agglomeration Sintering technology. WC-12Co powders produced by Sintering & Crushing technology have angular /blocky shape which is suitable for HVOF or atmospheric plasma spray.

For better deposition efficiency, it is recommended to choose agglomerated and sintered tungsten carbide cobalt powder WC-12Co with spherical shape. We offer agglomerated and sintered WC-12Co in a variety of particle size distributions that are optimized for different spray processes and spray guns.

We can customize various particle size for WC-12Co powder, including 5-30, 15-45, 45-105umplease let us know your request.

Applications

How we play a role in the industry

HIP Technology

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) technology works by placing the product in a closed container, filling it with inert gas and sintering or densifying the product at a very high temperature (usually close to the forging temperature of the material) and at a very high pressure (usually 100 – 140 MPa). This allows the product to be sintered or densified.

MIM Technology

MIM products can be complex in shape, precise in size, high in strength and produced automatically in large quantities, and can significantly reduce the complexity and cost of traditional metalworking

SLM Technology

SLM, also known as Selective Laser Melting, is similar in principle to SLS in that a laser is used to melt and solidify metal powder in a specified area, which is then moulded in a layer-by-layer stack.

EBM Technology

Electron beam melting refers to a vacuum melting method in which the kinetic energy of a high speed electron beam stream is converted to heat as a heat source for melting metals under high vacuum. The abbreviation is EBM.
