Composition and various areas of applications of tungsten carbide ball

What is a tungsten carbide ball?

Tungsten carbide ball also known as cemented carbide ball is made up of WC and binder phase. In industrial use, cemented carbide ball is known to be the most successful and highly used composite material to be ever produced. It is produced by using a combination of two materials such as cobalt powder and tungsten carbide. This element has a combination of toughness, strength, and durability that helps in most of the demanding applications in industries.

How is it made?

The basic manufacturing of this carbide element begins with a composition of a specific tungsten carbide powder mixture that is made depending on the nature of the application. The tungsten carbide powder is changed into a solid form and then is placed in the high-temperature furnace. This is when the carbide structure of the blank piece is completely shaped at accurate temperatures making sure that it is performed at defined periods. Then the sintered element reaches a final finish by going through further processes like lapping, grinding, and/or polishing.
