Tungsten carbide Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Gray powder. Mohs hardness of 9+ in solid form. Insoluble in water but readily attacked by a nitric acid– hydrofluoric acidmixture. Stable to 400C with chlorine, burns in fluorine at room temperature, oxidizes on heating in air.

Physical properties

Gray powder, dissolved by HF=HNO3 mixture. Cutting tools, wear-resistant semiconductor film. Corroded by molten metals Mg, Al, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Nb, and Mo. Corrosion resistant to molten Sn and Ta.

Uses

Tungsten carbide is extremely hard and are excellent cutting materials. It is used extensivly in the tool and die industry for drilling and cutting tools, sand blasting nozzels, armor-piercing bullets, and studs to increase traction of tires.
Besides, it is used in dental burs, surgical instruments, wear-resistant coatings; in manufacture of cemented carbide; Substitute for noble metals in catalysis.

Definition

A ditungsten carbide, W2C, with similar physical properties is also known. WC is said to be the strongest of all structural materials.

Hazard

Toxic by inhalation.

Industrial uses

Tungsten carbide with a 3 to 20% matrix ofcobalt is the most common structural RHM. Thelow-cobalt grades are used for applicationsrequiring wear resistance; the high-cobalt gradesserve where impact resistance is required.

Safety Profile

Chronic inhalation causes lung damage in humans. Ignites at 600°C in nitrogen oxide atmospheres. Violent reaction with F2, ClF3, NOx, IF5, PbO2, NO2, N20. See also TUNGSTEN COMPOUNDS.
