Carbide components are parts or tools made from cemented carbides, most notably tungsten carbide. These materials combine a very hard metal carbide (like tungsten carbide) with a metallic binder (often cobalt). Carbide components are renowned for the following properties:
Extreme Hardness: They resist wear, abrasion, and deformation, making them ideal for applications involving high friction or cutting forces.
High-Temperature Resistance: Carbide components retain their properties even at elevated temperatures.
Strength and Toughness: They withstand impact and maintain their shape under heavy loads.
