Advantages Of Utilizing Tungsten Carbide Coatings

By Charles Wallace


Machines with sharp cutting edges normally wear out or become blunt over time. However, fitting them with tungsten carbide coatings ensure that cutting edges maintain their shapes for a long time over stainless steel. The coating has a resistance to high temperature which ensures that it can be used in machining for a long while. Due to the nature of the coating, they are used in applications which involve high precision and high quality production of products.

In search of various minerals and other valuable materials, miners encounter very hard substances to drill through. To ensure the drills can pass through during mining they are coated with tungsten carbide. This coating helps protect the drill and ensure that the drilling is effective and seamless. This is because the coating wears out slowly over time during mining compared to other compounds. The coating is normally studded to ensure there is enough grasp.

To improve on traction on snowy surfaces, these tips enhance steering on harder icy surfaces. Snowmobiles are inserted with sharpened carbide tipped spikes into their drive tracks. These tips enhance steering on harder icy surfaces. They also reduce wear when snowmobile has to crossroads and other unwelcoming surfaces. Tires too of an automobile have studs made of tungsten carbide to increase traction on ice.

Instruments meant for various types of surgery like open and laparoscopic are coated to ensure they have a better performance. This coatings are not cheap like the stainless and are handled with a lot of care due to their delicate nature. This facilitates the operations leading to effective therapies.

A coating of jewelry make them scratch resistant and extremely hard which make the jewelry long lasting especially now that they are not prone to scratches. The hardness means in special considerations it can break the jewelry using locking pliers as to normal metals which just bend flat. This is very useful in emergencies where a jewelry is to be removed immediately in life saving techniques or in first aid where the owner is choking or swollen due to the jewelry.

To disperse ink during writing, ballpoints have their tips coated with these products. This is mainly used in the rotating ball. Production of blocks for gauging use the same compound. These blocks are applied in a field called dimensional metrology where the blocks are used for producing precise lengths.

Additionally, tungsten carbide is really an amazing compound which fascinates even the scientist. Chemical experiments have proven it to be similar to another compound named platinum. This means the coatings have a potential to be a catalyst just like platinum and have actually catalyzed water production from hydrogen and oxygen. It has also been tested in another experiment which involved reduction of tungsten trioxide by hydrogen in water presence. Both have been successful experiments which prove it may have more applications unknown.

Agricultural machines are usually coated with such products especially the wearing parts. This is due to the slow wearing out of this coating which can only be compared to only industrial diamond. It has actually surpassed treated steel by more an average of around six times by being more durable. It is used to protect the machine shape and design of the part while ensuring its long lasting and increased performance with less downtime.
