Why Use Tungsten Carbide Over Other Metals?

The African Development Bank will finance $25 billion by 2025 to support Africa's fight against climate change, the bank's president said at the bank's annual meeting in Accra, Ghana.  

He noted that climate change has had many negative impacts on the continent, causing natural disasters such as droughts, cyclones, and floods. Climate change costs Africa between $7 billion and $15 billion a year. "Africa has no choice but to address climate change."  

To ensure Africa's food supply, the African Development Bank has delivered climate-friendly seeds to 12 million farmers in 27 countries in the past two years under the "Technology for Agricultural Change in Africa" program, he said.  

In the area of renewable energy, the African Development Bank is implementing a $20 billion "Desert Power" initiative in the Sahel that is expected to power 250 million people, he said.  

US President Joe Biden recently wrapped up his five-day trip to Asia with a summit of leaders of the "Quad" security Dialogue.  

Biden has promoted a number of economic and security cooperation initiatives during his visit aimed at deepening ties with Indo-Pacific Allies and partners in response to China's growing influence in the region. Some analysts in the United States believe the most significant announcement may be an initiative to share maritime information to combat illegal activities. But other experts say Biden's move sets a good framework for more security cooperation, though it remains to be seen whether concrete action will follow.

Affected by several factors, the supply of the tungsten carbide powder is erratic and thus its prices are expected to go higher in the future.

Tungsten carbide is a compound in which two elements are combined to form a new metal.  Recently, it has become increasingly popular in the industrial world as more and more people use it in place of traditional metals. It's a versatile and very useful material, but what makes it better than other metals?
 
Strength
Tungsten carbide is a very hard material. It is predicted to have a Mohs hardness of 8.5 to 9, second only to diamonds. This makes it a valuable metal with many different uses. Tungsten carbide bits are incredibly resilient to work where other metal bits blunt and break. 
 
Steel, by contrast, has three times less rigidity than tungsten. This rigidity makes tungsten stronger than steel and titanium. Tungsten is very durable and can withstand many tests in any job. Whether it's tungsten powder or tungsten carbide blades, this compound gets the job done.
 
Recycling
In addition to its strength, tungsten is easily recycled and can be used for many years.  Tungsten carbide waste is collected, melted down, and modified better than other metals, potentially damaging or missing in the process. Other metals tend to lose their integrity or become too damaged to recycle, leading to more waste. Many companies are more than willing to buy tungsten scrap at a very reasonable price to give you less waste and a smaller carbon footprint.
 
The strength of tungsten plays an important role in its recovery value. Its toughness has ensured a long life, but there is no loss of durability in carbide recovery materials when it is recycled. Unlike metal, it is strong in all its uses and can be recycled again and again.  Almost all other metals eventually break down. Because tungsten is a compound and not a natural metal, it does not have this disadvantage. 
 
Tungsten has proved its superiority over other metals time and again in the industrial field.  Its durable strength and versatility make carbide recovery materials one of the most valuable compounds.
