Carbide Rods

Carbide rods are cylindrical pieces made primarily from tungsten carbide, a compound known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability. These rods are integral in various industrial applications, particularly in the manufacturing of cutting tools and wear-resistant components.

A structural material composed of refractory compound titanium carbide as the hard phase of ceramics and metal alloy as the bonding phase.

It not only has the advantages of metal toughness, high thermal conductivity, and good thermal stability, but also has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of ceramics.
