Tungsten - Benefits - Dale Engineering

Because of its exceptional properties, tungsten carbide has, in recent years, emerged as the superior alternative to steel for many industrial applications. Tungsten carbide is a ceramic material composed of approximately a 1:1 ratio of tungsten and carbon atoms. Thanks to its wear resistance and hardness, tungsten carbide is ideally suited for wear parts, other machine parts and dies which are subject to severe service conditions such as high temperatures, corrosion and abrasion. The primary attraction of tungsten carbide is its high strength and low ductility at high temperatures. Because of its longer wear qualities, tungsten carbide tooling translates into one of the best options for Dale Engineering and its customers.
