Sintered tungsten carbide's most impressive property is the ability to resist abrasion. It is the hardest metal known to exist. Abrasion resistance can be up to 20 times greater that steel.
Most of Kinton Carbide's fabrication involves brazing sintered tungsten carbide platlets to carbon steel back plates. Our brazing process results in a bond of 25,000 psi holding power. High alumina ceramic is epoxied to wear surface to balance the wear ratio across the face of the part for secondary wear areas of some parts.
