TEKMAT™ WC
Spherical Cast Tungsten Carbide Powder
|
 |
Extremely hard and dense, Tekna’s Spherical Cast Tungsten Carbide TEKMAT™ powder, an eutectic mixture of WC and W2C phases, is one of the most wear resistant products on the market. Commonly blended with nickel based alloys, it is perfect for hardfacing applications by PTA, laser cladding and other processes for use in applications where superior wear protection is needed, such as mining, oil drilling and agriculture.
Various size fractions are available from 44µm (325 mesh) to 420µm (40 mesh). Our standard SWC grades are the following:
