Is tungsten carbide diamond hard?

       

As a professional tungsten carbide spraying manufacturer, wococarbide.com is committed to popularizing some knowledge of tungsten carbide, such as the hardness of tungsten carbide. Many people only know that tungsten carbide is relatively hard, so tungsten carbide spraying can greatly improve the product. The hardness and durability of wear resistance.

Many people don't have much idea about the hardness of different objects. They only know that diamond is the hardest substance. In fact, diamond is just another name for diamond, so tungsten carbide is definitely not as hard as diamond.



Although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, its hardness is also very, very hard. It is a relatively high-ranking material. Through inquiry, we know that the Mohs hardness of tungsten carbide is about 9 to 9.5, while that of diamond Mohs hardness is 10, yes, Mohs hardness is based on the hardness of diamond as the highest benchmark.



Although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, some other physical parameters are much better than diamond. For example, its stiffness can reach twice that of steel, and its Young's modulus is about 530-700 GPa, which is also twice that of steel.



It is precisely because of the high hardness of tungsten carbide and excellent other properties that tungsten carbide spraying technology will be greatly applied.
