Low volume tungsten carbide powder
We manufacture tungsten carbide powder with much lower volume than conventional one.
The powder can also lower alloy shrinkage, and raise productivity according to various applications.

- Expected effects
- Lower shrinkage during sintering the pressed powder. (commonalizing molds with tungsten carbide powder with different grain size)
- Possible to reduce molding pressure. ( preventing cracks in pressed body with complex shape)
- Possible to upsize sintered body.
- Possible to sinter the powder more efficiently per batch. (improving productivity in mixing process)
- Possible to reduce mixing time.

Ultrafine tungsten carbide powder
We manufacture ultrafine tungsten carbide powder with grain size of up to about 0.1 μm by direct carbonization reaction of tungsten oxide and carbon powder. This powder is suitable for various applications such as raw materials for drills and end mills used for printed circuit boards, as well as binder-less alloy, which require high hardness and high strength.
