    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, cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor-piercing shells and jewelry.

    The jewelry industry makes rings of sintered tungsten carbide, tungsten carbide/metal composites, and also metallic tungsten. [75] 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 ...

    The discovery of superhard tungsten tetraboride is further evidence for the promising design approach of covalently bonding incompressible transition metals with boron. While WB 4 was first synthesized and identified as the highest boride of tungsten in 1966, [52] it was only recognized as an inexpensive superhard material in 2011. [53]

    Some of them, including titanium carbide and tungsten carbide, are important industrially and are used to coat metals in cutting tools. [3] The long-held view is that the carbon atoms fit into octahedral interstices in a close-packed metal lattice when the metal atom radius is greater than approximately 135 pm: [2]

  7. Brinell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinell_scale

    The standard format for specifying tests can be seen in the example "HBW 10/3000". "HBW" means that a tungsten carbide (from the chemical symbol for tungsten or from the Spanish/Swedish/German name for tungsten, "Wolfram") ball indenter was used, as opposed to "HBS", which means a hardened steel ball. The "10" is the ball diameter in millimeters.
