What Does Tungsten Carbide Mean?

Tungsten carbide (WC) is a chemical compound comprising equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. Renowned for its extraordinary hardness, wear resistance, and durability, it ranks among the toughest materials on Earth, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale[12]. Initially synthesized in 1893 [4, 7], this gray powder is now sintered into industrial tools, machinery components, and even jewelry [1, 8]. Its unique properties—high melting point (2,870°C), exceptional compressive strength, and resistance to deformation—make it indispensable across industries like mining, aerospace, and medicine [3, 8, 20]. Below, we explore its composition, manufacturing, applications, and more.
