Carbide Parts

Tungsten cemented carbide products are widely used in cutting tools for machining, ammunition, mining, nuclear, sports, surgical instruments, jewelry and others.
Carbide ball is widely used to make the rotating ball in the tips of ballpoint pens. 
Tungsten carbide block is a common material used in the manufacture of gauge blocks, used as a system for producing precision lengths in dimensional metrology.
Tungsten cemented carbide part is used as guitar slide custom-made by English famous guitarist. The hardness, weight, and density of carbide materail give it more superior sustain and volume compared to standard glass, steel, ceramic, or brass slides.
Tungsten cemented carbide has been investigated for its potential use as a catalyst and it has been found to resemble platinum in its catalysis of the production of water from hydrogen and oxygen at room temperature, the reduction of tungsten trioxide by hydrogen in the presence of water, and the isomerisation of 2, 2-dimethylpropane to 2-methylbutane. It has been proposed as a replacement for the iridium catalyst in hydrazine-powered satellite thrusters.
