Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Chromium Alloy Powder

WC-Co-Cr Powder

Applications

Cutting Tools and Machining

Drills and Milling Cutters:
The excellent wear resistance and hardness of WC-Co-Cr powder make it ideal for cutting tools, such as drills, end mills, and turning inserts. These tools are used in metalworking, where they must withstand abrasive and high-stress conditions while maintaining sharpness and effectiveness.

Mining Tools:
Drill bits, tunneling tools, and other mining equipment benefit from the abrasion resistance of WC-Co-Cr powder. The alloy’s toughness also makes it resistant to impact and shock loading, which is important in the mining and drilling industries where equipment faces extreme conditions.

Oil & Gas Industry

Drill Bits and Downhole Tools:
WC-Co-Cr powder is widely used in the oil and gas industry for drill bits, downhole tools, and cutting heads. The material’s wear resistance, high hardness, and thermal stability make it ideal for drilling through hard rock formations and other challenging geological conditions.

Aerospace and Automotive

Turbine Blades:
Turbine blades in jet engines and gas turbines are exposed to extreme temperatures and mechanical stresses. WC-Co-Cr powder’s thermal stability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance make it an excellent material for manufacturing turbine blades that can withstand high temperatures without degradation.

Valve Seats and Automotive Components:
Aerospace and automotive industries use WC-Co-Cr powder in the production of valve seats, valve guides, and engine components that require high wear resistance due to constant friction and exposure to high temperatures.

Chemical Processing and Marine Applications

Chemical Processing Equipment:
WC-Co-Cr powder is used in components such as pumps, valves, and reactors that are exposed to aggressive chemicals. The corrosion resistance of chromium, combined with the abrasion resistance of tungsten carbide, makes WC-Co-Cr alloy perfect for harsh chemical environments.

Thermal Spray Coatings:
The powder is commonly used for thermal spray coatings in abrasive and erosive environments. Applications include pumps, valves, turbine blades, and heavy-duty
