Tungsten carbide electrodes

General Characteristics

Tungsten carbide is a chemical compound of carbon and tungsten (semicarbide and tungsten monocarbide). It is comparable in hardness to diamond and is highly wear-resistant, resistant to oxidation and has an extremely high melting point.

Applications

Tungsten carbide is widely used in the production of tools of exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance. It is also used for wear-resistant surfacing on parts that work under severe abrasion conditions, in the manufacture of drills, disks, cutters, and electrodes. WSC and SFTC G21-GF-55-CG (DIN 8555) autogenous welding electrodes filled with molten crushed and spherical tungsten carbide are used for surfacing on low-alloy and non-alloy steel, on cutting edges of tools. A special electrode filled with spherical tungsten carbide, WSC E21 UM-GF-60-CG, is used for electrical hardfacing of low-alloyed and unalloyed steels. Electrodes such as E21-UM-60-CGZ sintered and pressed are used for surfacing on parts subjected to high friction wear. G21-UM-55-CG autogenous flexible welding electrodes with molten, crushed tungsten carbide are used for surfacing on austenitic and ferritic rods, cast iron, deep drilling equipment, conveyor screws, etc.

Types of tungsten carbide electrodes

- SFTC G21-UM-55-CG spherical melted flexible electrodes filled with molten tungsten carbide;
- filled with molten crushed tungsten carbide and NiCrBSi, WSC G21-GF-55-CG;
- filled with molten spherical tungsten carbide and NiCrBSi, grades SFTC G21-GF-55-CG.

Production

Non-melting tungsten electrodes are produced in accordance with GOST 23 949-80. Production of carbide-tungsten electrodes is regulated by GOST 21 448-75. Such electrodes are round (Ø0,5 3x40 mm) and flat (1,5x3x40, 1,5x2x40, 4x2x40). Manufacturing technology of tungsten carbide electrodes and the characteristics of this composition provide high thermal stability and excellent operating resistance.
