Tungsten carbide is highly resistant to heat and pressure. It is manufactured by embedding tungsten monocarbide (WC) grains into a binder matrix, often made of cobalt. This combination facilitates ...
In the solid state Tungsten has a body-centered cubic crystal structure with a = 0.316 nm and a nearest neighbor distance of 0.2.73 nm. Tungsten has a Young's modulus of 407 GPa, a yield stress of ...
