Tungsten Carbide (WC) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles (99.99%, 55 nm, Hexagonal)

Description

Tungsten Carbide (WC) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles (99.99%, 55 nm, Hexagonal)

Tungsten Carbide (WC) Nanoparticles are an ultra-hard refractory material with excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. With a purity of 99.99%, an average particle size of 55 nm, and a hexagonal crystal structure, WC nanopowder is a premium-grade ceramic for cutting tools, protective coatings, and nanocomposites.

Featuring a true density of 15.7 g/cm³, a melting point of 2870 °C, and a boiling point of 6000 °C, Tungsten Carbide nanoparticles are widely recognized as one of the hardest materials after diamond. Their exceptional hardness, combined with low grain size and high stability, makes them essential in industries requiring extreme durability under harsh conditions.
