Applications by Particle Size
🔹 Fine Powder (25–75 µm)
Precision-grade tungsten carbide powders in this fine particle range are designed for applications that demand maximum control, surface quality, and micro-scale performance. These powders are ideal where uniformity, flowability, and ultra-fine layering are critical.
They are widely used in thermal spray coatings, surface hardening treatments, and high-precision additive manufacturing, enabling the formation of thin, functional layers with exceptional wear resistance.
In advanced metallurgy and electronics, fine powders support laboratory-grade alloy development, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) enhancement, and high-precision sintering processes.
This size range is also essential for electrical contact pastes, conductive and catalytic coatings, micro-welding compounds, and ultra-thin electronic layers, making it highly suitable for electronics, micro-engineering, and high-tech manufacturing.
Additional applications include fine polishing compounds, micro-nozzle fabrication, printed circuit bonding, and thermal interface performance enhancement, where consistency and purity are non-negotiable.
🔹 Medium Powder (75–150 µm)
Medium-sized tungsten carbide powders offer an optimal balance between mechanical strength, process stability, and versatility, making them one of the most widely used grades across industrial sectors.
They are extensively applied in welding electrodes, TIG welding additives, and sintering mixtures, supporting reliable bonding and long service life.
In manufacturing, this size range is ideal for hard-metal production, metal matrix composites, and powder injection molding (PIM), delivering consistent mechanical reinforcement.
Medium powders are also commonly used for automotive and aerospace component coatings, heat-resistant and thermal barrier layers, and precision tooling and die manufacturing.
Industries such as oil & gas, heavy machinery, and industrial tooling rely on these powders for abrasion-resistant surfaces, high-density fillers, and high-temperature joint reinforcement, ensuring durability under extreme operating conditions.
🔹 Coarse Powder (150–850 µm)
Coarse tungsten carbide powders are engineered for high-load, high-temperature, and heavy-duty applications where mass, density, and structural reinforcement are required.
They play a critical role in thermal barrier systems, plasma spray processes, and high-density metallurgical applications, including tungsten heavy alloy production and radiation shielding components.
This particle range is commonly used in industrial furnaces, machining tools, and wear-resistant mechanical parts, providing excellent resistance to abrasion, heat, and mechanical stress.
Additional applications include grinding and abrasive components, reinforced casting molds, high-pressure machine parts, and structural alloy enhancement, making coarse powders indispensable in energy, mining, and heavy engineering industries.
🔹 Granules / Heavy Grades (850–2280 µm)
Heavy-grade tungsten carbide granules are designed for applications where maximum mass density, thermal stability, and structural weight are essential.
These grades are widely used in tungsten melting and alloying, industrial casting, and metal refining and recycling processes.
They are a key material for nuclear radiation shielding, aerospace counterweights, ballast systems, and vibration damping components, where controlled weight and stability are critical.
In heavy industry, granules support high-temperature furnace loads, foundry enhancements, compression molds, and refractory components.
They are also utilized in high-density base plates, vibration-absorbing machine blocks, and large-scale engineering assemblies, ensuring long-term performance in extreme environments.
