Tungsten carbide is a highly durable material used in various industrial and consumer applications due to its hardness and resistance to wear. However, like many metals, it can be susceptible to oxidation or contamination, which may resemble rust, although true rust is specific to iron and its alloys. Removing oxidation or contaminants from tungsten carbide requires careful methods to preserve its integrity. This article will explore effective techniques for cleaning tungsten carbide surfaces.
