Tungsten Carbide (TC) is harder than stainless steel. Surgical instruments with tungsten carbide inserts in the tip offer a stronger grip, and they last longer. Tungsten carbide instruments generally have golden handles.
Tungsten Carbide known as TC Forceps are thumb forceps often used in small surgical sites to grasp tissues. They have fine, narrow jaws that are commonly used in plastic surgery.
TC instruments are designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than other standard instruments. SMS technology make it sure to permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the instrument, which maximizes control and precision.
Tungsten Carbide Material Information: The notable and rare combination of physical properties possessed by tungsten carbide makes it useful for a variety of applications. It is extremely strong and wear-resistant. There are only a few materials on earth that can be used to cut or engrave tungsten carbide, with industrial diamond abrasives being one of these. Its tensile strength is very high, but it is brittle under high pressures as a result. The melting point of tungsten carbide is also very high, at 5,200 degrees Fahrenheit (2,870 degrees C). To boil, it must be heated much further, to an astronomical 10,382 degrees Fahrenheit (6000 degrees C).
