Cemented Carbide

Cemented carbide is an inorganic chemical compound which contains equal numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms.

It is sometimes colloquially referred to as cemented carbide or as simply "carbide."Traditionally, cemented carbide components have been used in metalworking applications where tooling stresses are great. However, there are numerous non-metal uses, such as crushing/pulverizing stone, where cemented carbide's strength and wear characteristics offer a cost-effective solution
