Spherical WC Powder FAQs
Q1: What is Spherical WC Powder?
Spherical WC powder is a fine, spherical-shaped powder made of tungsten carbide (WC), a compound of tungsten and carbon. It is widely used in various industrial applications due to its hardness, wear resistance, and high melting point.
Q2: Why is the spherical shape important for WC powder?
The spherical shape of WC powder is important because it enhances the flowability and packing density of the powder. This makes it easier to handle and improves the efficiency of processes like 3D printing, sintering, and coating.
Q3: What are the key properties of Spherical WC Powder?
Hardness: Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials, making it highly resistant to wear and abrasion.
High melting point: WC has an extremely high melting point, which makes it stable at high temperatures.
Density: Tungsten carbide is dense, giving it high strength and durability.
Corrosion resistance: It offers resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for harsh environments.
