    • Tungsten Carbide Powder (WC Nanopowder)

     

    • Product: Tungsten Carbide Nanopowder (WC)
    • Purity: 99.9%
    • Grain Size: ~60 nm (Nanoscale)
    • Appearance: Black Hexagonal Crystals
    • Key Features: Extreme hardness, high thermal conductivity, and superior wear resistance.

    MKnano provides high-quality Tungsten Carbide Powder, which is also called WC nanopowder or tungsten carbide nanoparticles. Our powder is the best choice for ultra-hard cutting tools, erosion-resistant coatings, and sophisticated nanocomposites since it is manufactured to be very pure and have a specific particle distribution.

    Tungsten Carbide Powder –Key Properties & Performance Advantages

    Using WC nanopowder improves the performance of materials through the Hall-Petch effect, which states that smaller grains make materials stronger.

    • Extreme Hardness:

      Mohs hardness of ~9.

    • Thermal Stability:

      Stays stable at very high temperatures; melting point is about 2870°C.

    • Enhanced Sintering:

      Nanoscale particles let you sinter at lower temperatures, which makes parts denser.

    • Wear Resistance:

      Superior abrasion resistance in coatings and tools.

    Applications of Tungsten Carbide Nanopowder

    • Industrial Tools:

      Drills, end mills, and lathe inserts.

    • Coatings:

      HVOF thermal spray for turbine blades and valves.

    • Mining:

      Rock-drilling bits for oil and gas exploration.

    • Electronics:

      Circuit board micro-drills.

    • 3D Printing:

      Feedstock for additive manufacturing.
