Yes, but "solid carbide" is a bit of a misnomer, because invariably it is not an actual single block of tungsten carbide, it is actually tungsten carbide powder in a nickel, cobalt, or cobalt chromium binder and it is sintered into a solid part. You can have a "solid" carbide part, or you can have a steel part with carbide inserts brazed into it. but the carbide part itself is just as hard.
