TS3153 tungsten carbide/nickel powder (WC90-Ni10)

Tungsten Carbide/Nickel Powder (WC90-Ni10) Description

Tungsten Carbide/Nickel Powder (WC90-Ni10) is a composite material that combines tungsten carbide's high hardness and wear resistance with nickel's specific properties. Nickel acts as a binder and connects tungsten carbide particles, thereby improving the strength and cohesion of the WC alloy. Furthermore, nickel increases toughness, ductility and corrosion resistance. The powder comprises fine tungsten carbide particles uniformly distributed in a nickel matrix, providing a defined combination of strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.

Tungsten Carbide/Nickel Powder (WC90-Ni10) Applications

• Cutting Tools: Manufacturers frequently use WC/Ni Powder to produce cutting tools such as drills, shank milling cutters and indexable inserts. Given its high hardness and wear resistance, it is suitable for processing tough materials including steel, cast iron and composites.
• Wear Parts: Manufacturers use the powder to create abrasion-resistant components such as nozzles, seals and bearings. The combination of tungsten carbide and nickel provides measurable resistance to abrasion, erosion and surface fatigue.
• Electrical Contacts: Manufacturers use WC/Ni Powder in the production of electrical contacts. It offers good electrical conductivity and maintains stability at elevated temperatures.
• Surface Coatings: Manufacturers apply the powder as a thermal spray coating to impart wear and corrosion resistance to surfaces. Consequently, it is used in aerospace, oil and gas, and chemical industries.
• Additive Manufacturing: Manufacturers utilise WC/Ni Powder in powder bed fusion additive manufacturing processes. It produces complex parts with quantifiable wear resistance and dimensional stability.
