What Are the Benefits of Tungsten Carbide?
The wear resistance and ultra-smooth finish of tungsten carbide ring gauges are ideal for demanding manufacturing environments where the use of tool steel may result in premature ring gauge wear. The ring gauge contains a tungsten carbide bushing with a wall thickness of 3 mm to 10 mm, depending on the ring diameter, securely mounted in a knurled steel ring. Tungsten carbide ring gauges are used to check the outside diameter of cylindrical objects and to calibrate other gauges or standards, such as calipers, inside micrometers or bore gauges. Why Choose Tungsten Carbide Material? Tungsten carbide is a compound of tungsten and carbon, with the molecular formula WC and molecular weight 195.85. It is a black hexagonal crystal with metallic luster and hardness similar to diamond, and is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Tungsten carbide is insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, but easily soluble in nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid mixture. Pure tungsten carbide
