tungsten carbide
Cutting tool material
Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard compound of tungsten and carbon, used in cutting tools, drill bits, and wear-resistant coatings.
Its hardness approaches that of diamond, making it ideal for machining metals and mining operations.
Wedding bands made of tungsten carbide have become popular for their scratch resistance and durability.
