Introduction to Carbide Alloys – Tungsten, Titanium & Tantalum

Carbide alloys

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.

Carbide Alloys Specifications

Property Details
Material Type Hard Metal / Cemented Carbide
Base Carbides WC, TiC, TaC
Binder Metals Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni)
Hardness Range 80 – 92 HRC
Density Range 14.5 – 15.8 g/cm³
Wear Resistance Excellent
Heat Resistance Excellent
Compressive Strength Very High
Machinability Precision grinding only
Magnetic Property Non-magnetic (WC–Ni grades)

👉 Carbide alloys are engineered materials where hardness and wear resistance are achieved through sintering, not conventional heat treatment.

Chemical Composition of Carbide Alloys (WC–Co Typical)

Element Composition (%)
Tungsten (W) 80.0 – 97.0
Carbon (C) 4.0 – 6.5
Cobalt (Co) 3.0 – 20.0 (Binder)
Titanium (Ti) Optional (TiC grades)
Tantalum (Ta) Optional (TaC grades)
Niobium (Nb) Optional
Nickel (Ni) Optional binder (corrosion-resistant grades)

📌 Composition varies by grade and application (WC, TiC, TaC-based systems).

Technical Composition of Tungsten Carbide (WC–Co)

Physical Properties of Tungsten Carbide (WC–Co)

Property Imperial Units Metric Units
Density 15.6 g/cm³
Melting Point 5742 °F (Sublimation) 3170 °C (Sublimation)
Elastic Modulus (Tension) ~59 × 10³ ksi ~407 GPa

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.
