Is Tungsten Carbide Stronger Than Diamond?

Tungsten carbide and diamond represent pinnacles of material science, each dominating specific domains of industrial and commercial applications. While diamond remains the hardest natural substance (Mohs 10), tungsten carbide (Mohs 9–9.5) excels in fracture toughness and practical durability. This article explores their properties, applications, cost dynamics, and industry-specific advantages, supported by technical comparisons and real-world use cases.
