Composite Rods based on tungsten carbide

Composite Rods based on tungsten carbide

Opis

Composite Rods WRC 50, WRC 60, and WRC 70 consist of crushed, coarse-grained sintered tungsten carbide in a copper-based "Nickel Silver" alloy matrix (Cu 46–50%, Ni 9–11%, Zn — balance).

Due to the sharp edges of the crushed tungsten carbide, the material is suitable for creating and refurbishing drilling and cutting tools — e.g. for the mining industry, on drilling tools, stabilizers, and thread drilling machines. The self-fluxing copper alloy matrix has sufficient hardness and resistance to corrosion and erosive wear.

Welding is performed with an oxy-acetylene torch.
