Product Overview
Introduction to Carbide Alloys – Tungsten, Titanium & Tantalum
MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP is a trusted manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of Carbide Alloys, offering a wide range of products including Tungsten Carbide (WC), Titanium Carbide (TiC), Tantalum Carbide (TaC), and specialty carbide-based tools and components. Our range includes rods, strips, dies, nozzles, inserts, buttons, rings, wear parts, and custom-engineered carbide components designed to withstand extreme wear, abrasion, and thermal stress.
Carbide Alloys are hard, wear-resistant materials made by combining carbide particles with metallic binders like cobalt or nickel. These alloys offer exceptional hardness, high-temperature resistance, and excellent dimensional stability, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications including metal cutting, mining, oil & gas, aerospace, and wear protection systems.

Heat Treatment & Processing of Carbide Alloys
| Process | Temperature Range | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Powder Mixing & Milling | — | Uniform carbide–binder distribution |
| Cold Isostatic Pressing | — | Shape formation |
| Liquid Phase Sintering | 1350 – 1500 °C | Full densification |
| HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) | 1350 – 1450 °C | Removes internal porosity |
| Grinding & Polishing | — | Final precision dimensions |
| Coating (Optional) | PVD / CVD | TiN, TiCN, AlTiN |
📌 Carbide alloys cannot be hardened by conventional heat treatment; properties are achieved during sintering and binder control.
