How Dense Is Tungsten Carbide?

Tungsten carbide is a chemical compound comprising equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms[4][9]. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes through a process called sintering for use in industrial machinery, cutting tools, abrasives, armor-piercing shells, and jewelry[4]. It is an exceptionally hard and dense material with a wide range of applications due to its unique properties[11][5].
