Tungsten carbide balls are used where extreme hardness and wear resistance is required;
in such applications as bearings, ball screws, valves and flow meters. These
balls are also used for coining and as pivots, detents and tips for gauges and
tracers. Tungsten carbide itself is practically inert and extremely strong. Any
attack is usually on the binder. Since other material is less expensive, the
selection of tungsten carbide solely for corrosion resistance is usually not justified.
In highly corrosive conditions, carbides with a more resistant binder can
be supplied. We have tungsten carbide in grade 25 and above. We also can supply
Titanium Carbide Balls and Nickel Carbide Balls in Grade 25.
