"Carbide has a unique combination of hardness and toughness that is hard to match in other cutting tool materials."

What is Tungsten Carbide?

The material, widely known simply as 'Carbide', is a metal alloy of Tungsten and Carbon.

It has an incredibly high hardness and wear resistance and is notoriously difficult to work with compared to most other metals.

[HMK Ltd @HmkLtd]

When Tungsten is alloyed with Carbon, it not only makes the metal much easier to work with, it increases the hardness from 7.5 to 9 on the Moh's scale, placing Carbide just behind diamonds in terms of hardness.
