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 facility,mold industry,cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor-piercing ...

3. Tungsten - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

   The jewelry industry makes rings of sintered tungsten carbide, tungsten carbide/metal composites, and also metallic tungsten. [76] WC/metal composite rings use nickel as the metal matrix in place of cobalt because it takes a higher luster when polished. Sometimes manufacturers or retailers refer to tungsten carbide as a metal, but it is a ...

4. 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 ...

5. High-explosive incendiary/armor-piercing ammunition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-explosive_incendiary/...

   The remaining element of the round is the tungsten carbide penetrator. This has a large amount of kinetic energy and will penetrate the armor as a solid-cored armor-piercing shot would. This takes the incendiary material and about 20 steel fragments (created by the explosives), delivering them in a 25–30 degree cone through the armor ...

6. Adamantium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamantium

   Adamant and the literary form adamantine occur in works such as The Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost, Gulliver's Travels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Lord of the Rings, [4] and the film Forbidden Planet (as "adamantine steel"). All these uses predate the use of adamantium in Marvel's comics. [4]

7. Cemented carbide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cemented_carbide

   Mentions of "carbide" or "tungsten carbide" in industrial contexts usually refer to these cemented composites. Most of the time, carbide cutters will leave a better surface finish on a part and allow for faster machining than high-speed steel or other tool steels. Carbide tools can withstand higher temperatures at the cutter-workpiece interface ...
