2. Tungsten carbide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_carbide

   Tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC) is a chemical compound (specifically, a carbide) containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes through sintering [7] for use in industrial machinery, engineering facilities, [8] molding blocks, [9] cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor ...

3. Armour-piercing ammunition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing_ammunition

   High explosive incendiary/armour piercing ammunition combines a tungsten carbide penetrator with an incendiary and explosive tip. Energy is concentrated by using a reduced-diameter tungsten shot, surrounded by a lightweight outer carrier, the sabot (a French word for a wooden shoe). This combination allows the firing of a smaller diameter (thus ...

4. Armor-piercing bullet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armor-piercing_bullet

   Armor-piercing bullets typically contain a hardened steel, tungsten, or tungsten carbide penetrator encased within a copper or cupronickel jacket, similar to the jacket which would surround lead in a conventional projectile. The penetrator is a pointed mass of high-density material designed to retain its shape and carry the maximum possible ...

5. Burr (cutter) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_(cutter)

   A selection of carbide burrs. Burrs or burs (sometimes called rotary files) [1] [2] are small cutting tools; not to be confused with small pieces of metal formed from cutting metal, used in die grinders, rotary tools, or dental drills.

6. Gauge block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_block

   A gauge block is a block of metal or ceramic with two opposing faces ground precisely flat and parallel, a precise distance apart. Standard grade blocks are made of a hardened steel alloy, while calibration grade blocks are often made of tungsten carbide (WC), chromium carbide (CrC) or ceramic (SiO 2-based) because they are harder and wear less ...

7. Cemented carbide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cemented_carbide

   The first cemented carbide developed was tungsten carbide (introduced in 1927) which uses tungsten carbide particles held together by a cobalt metal binder. Since then, other cemented carbides have been developed, such as titanium carbide, which is better suited for cutting steel, and tantalum carbide, which is tougher than tungsten carbide. [1]
