Tungsten carbide (also known as hard metal) is made up of hard particles embedded in a metal matrix (often cobalt).
It is produced through a process called sintering, in which the powders, available in different grain sizes, are mixed, pressed and then heated. thanks to the high pressure, the granules of the powders come together to form a single piece.
The finished product has a high degree of hardness and a high resistance to pressure, deformation and high temperatures, physical characteristics very useful for countless applications.
