Tungsten Carbide Material Properties:
Tungsten carbide is among the hardest materials known and is sometimes referred to as “man-made diamond.” The primary advantage of tungsten carbide is its hardness which makes it very resistant to wear and corrosion. To obtain its unique hardness, the unhardened tungsten carbide must be heat treated or “sintered” at 1454° C to 3200° C. Tungsten carbide inserts are used in surgical instruments to enhance their performance and longevity. These inserts are micro bonded to the working end of the device to provide years of increased performance.
