Tungsten is mainly used in the production of hard materials based on tungsten carbide, one of the hardest carbides, with a melting point of 2770 °c. wc is an efficient electrical conductor, but w2c is less so. wc is used to make wear-resistant abrasives, and "carbide" cutting tools such as knives, drills, circular, mining and turning tools used by the metalworking, woodworking, mining, petroleum and construction industries. carbide tooling is actually a ceramic/metal composite, where metallic cobalt acts as a binding (matrix) material to hold the wc particles in place. this type of industrial use accounts for about 60% of current tungsten consumption.
The jewellery industry makes rings of sintered tungsten carbide, tungsten carbide/metal composites, and also metallic tungsten. wc/metal composite rings use nickel as the metal matrix in place of cobalt because it takes a higher luster when polished. sometimes SUPPLIERSs or retailers refer to tungsten carbide as a metal, but it is a ceramic because of tungsten carbide's hardness, rings made of this material are extremely abrasion resistant, and will hold a burnished finish longer than rings made of metallic tungsten. tungsten carbide rings are brittle, however, and may crack under a sharp blow.
The hardness and density of tungsten are applied in obtaining heavy metal alloys. a good example is high speed steel, which can contain as much as 18% tungsten. tungsten's high melting point makes tungsten a good material for applications like rocket nozzles, for example in the ugm-27 polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile. tungsten alloys are used in a wide range of different applications, including the aerospace and automotive industries and radiation shielding.superalloys containing tungsten, such as hastalloy and stellite, are used in turbine blades and wear-resistant parts and coatings.
