As a professional manufacturer in the thermal spraying technology industry, Guangzhou Sanxin is committed to educating everyone about tungsten carbide—such as its hardness. Many people only know that tungsten carbide is relatively hard, so... Tungsten carbide spraying It can significantly enhance the product’s hardness, durability, and wear resistance.
Many people don’t really have much of a grasp on the hardness of different materials; they just know that diamonds are the hardest substance. In fact, “diamond” and “diamond” are simply two different names for the same material. Therefore, tungsten carbide is definitely not as hard as diamond.
Although tungsten carbide isn't as hard as diamond, it’s still extremely, extremely hard—ranking among the hardest substances known. According to our research, tungsten carbide has a Mohs hardness of roughly between 9 and 9.5, while diamond itself has a Mohs hardness of exactly 10. That’s right—the Mohs scale uses diamond’s hardness as its ultimate benchmark.
Although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, it excels in several other physical properties. For instance, its stiffness can be twice that of steel, and its Young’s modulus ranges from approximately 530 to 700 GPa—also twice that of steel.
It is precisely because tungsten carbide has high hardness and excellent other properties that... Tungsten carbide spraying Technology will then see extensive application.
