Wolframkarbid-Kobalt-Powder (WC-17Co) Description
Wolframkarbid-Kobalt-Powder (WC-17Co) is a material composed of microscopically small tungsten carbide particles embedded in a cobalt matrix. WC alone provides adequate hardness and wear resistance; however, it is somewhat brittle. The addition of cobalt, which binds the WC particles, results in a material that exhibits controlled mechanical properties, measurable hardness and improved wear resistance. The powder is produced to yield a uniform distribution of nanoparticles, thereby permitting precise control in various applications.
