Laser-assisted 3D printing shapes ultra-hard tungsten carbide while cutting waste
Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...
Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt ...
Tungsten Carbide is often referred to as a Hard Metal due to it’s very high hardness in relation to other metals. Typically a Tungsten Carbide Hard Metal can have a hardness value of 1600 HV, whereas ...
Researchers develop advanced tungsten-based ceramics with excellent hardness and ablation resistance
A research team, led by Prof. HUANG Zhulin at the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully synthesized tungsten ...
This new metal printing method keeps tungsten carbide insanely hard while cutting waste and skipping extreme heat cycles ...
Tungsten has one of the highest melting points of all the metallic elements, with a density close to gold (19.3 g / cm 3.) Tungsten is also extremely hard, with tungsten carbide’s hardness close to ...
The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes ...
