Today's cutting-edge technology uses the help of tungsten carbide (WC) so that the coating will produce the most corrosion and scratch-resistant coatings in the world today. To understand why they have chosen this element, here are some of the properties that you need to know about WC that give it its edge.
Tungsten carbide is known to have a stiffness that can be compared to steel. It’s Young's modulus, or the mechanical property of elasticity in tension measurement is 640 gigapascals. As a result, this element is denser than its titanium counterpart. You can learn more about Young’s modulus on this site here. It comes as a fine greyish powder that its typical applications are in armour-piercing rounds, industrial machines, cutting tools, and more.
About HVOF
The painting is done with a process that is known as HVOF or High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel spray. The coating process involves using high velocity and combustible sprays to develop resistance against corrosion and wear.
