Cemented Carbide Components  (tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, etc.) 

Tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC) and other tungsten carbide parts, with high hardness (Hv 1500-2000), excellent wear resistance, good high temperature stability (800-1000°C) and corrosion resistance, show far more comprehensive properties than traditional metals (such as high-speed steel) and ceramic materials in many extreme working conditions (such as high-speed friction, high-pressure impact, high-temperature wear, etc.), and their advantages are concentrated in scenarios with rigid requirements for "wear resistance, impact resistance, high precision, and long life".

For example:

Tungsten carbide (WC-Co) threading taps and cold heading dies, cold stamping dies and stampers (high hardness ensures the dimensional accuracy of the mold and avoids deformation when pressing ceramics and metal powders). Titanium carbide can be used as a mold insert or guide in hot extrusion dies (such as aluminum alloy profile extrusion) to reduce high-temperature wear.

Tungsten carbide drill bits for mining, excavator bucket teeth, crusher hammers, and cutter rings for shield machine cutters. Titanium carbide mining machinery wear-resistant lining.

Tungsten carbide fuel nozzles for aero engines, tenon and groove processing tools for turbine blades, precision bearings for satellite attitude control systems for spacecraft structural parts (low friction coefficient and high dimensional accuracy of WC-Co alloy, suitable for long-term operation in vacuum environment), semiconductor packaging molds including lead frame stamping dies (0.01mm ultra-fine lead stamping without burrs); Titanium carbide medical equipment wear parts are used for the precision gears of surgical robots, which can ensure long-term high-frequency movement without jamming.

Summary:

Tungsten carbide (WC-Co) is the most widely used tungsten carbide with "wear resistance + toughness balance" as its core advantage, leading to medium and high impact and high wear general scenarios (such as cutting tools, mining tools, precision molds). Titanium carbide features "high temperature stability + oxidation resistance" and focuses on high-temperature, high-speed or non-ferrous metal processing scenarios (e.g., high-speed cutting, high-temperature molds, anti-oxidation coatings) and is an important complement to WC-Co.

Together, the two support the processing and manufacturing needs of "high efficiency, precision and long life" in modern industry, especially in extreme working conditions where traditional materials (steel and ceramics) are incompetent, and become irreplaceable key materials.
