Tungsten Carbide Metal

5. Key Takeaways WC: Extreme hardness and abrasion resistance; best for slurry and sand-heavy environments; higher cost; moderate impact tolerance. CrC: Balanced wear and impact resistance; cost-effective for general industrial applications; easier deposition. COC: Multi-alloy and multi-phase carbides; excellent for combined abrasion and impact; high temperature tolerance; premium solution for severe service. Choosing the right material depends on abrasion type, impact load, temperature, and cost considerations. WC is ideal for extreme abrasion, CrC is suitable for general wear, and COC is best for multi-condition severe wear environments.
