Description

The global Tungsten Carbide Powder (WC) market size is expected to reach $ 2671 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Tungsten carbide is a made up of chemically bonded tungsten and carbide. Its superior hardness enables it to replace steel and other metal alloys in a variety of applications. Colloquially, tungsten carbide is often simply called carbide. In its most basic form, it is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes for use in industrial machinery, tools, abrasives, as well as jewelry. Tungsten carbide is approximately four times stiffer than steel, with a Young"s modulus of approximately 550 GPa, and is much denser than steel or titanium. It is comparable with corundum (a-Al2O3) in hardness and can only be polished and finished with diamond wheels and compounds.
