Tungsten carbide ke motsoako oa lik'hemik'hale oa inorganic o nang le lipalo tsa tungsten le liathomo tsa carbon. Tungsten carbide, eo hape e tsejoang e le "samente carbide", "hard alloy" kapa "hardmetal", ke mofuta oa lintho tse entsoeng ka metallurgic tse nang le tungsten carbide powder (chemical formula: WC) le binder tse ling (cobalt, nickel. joalo-joalo).

E ka hatelloa le ho etsoa ka libopeho tse ikhethileng, e ka siloa ka nepo, 'me e ka tšeloa kapa ea lokisetsoa litšepe tse ling. Mefuta e fapaneng le limaraka tsa carbide li ka etsoa joalo ka ha ho hlokahala hore li sebelisoe ts'ebelisong e reriloeng, ho kenyelletsa indasteri ea lik'hemik'hale, oli le khase le marine joalo ka lisebelisoa tsa merafo le ho seha, hlobo le ho shoa, likarolo tsa ho roala, jj.

Tungsten carbide e sebelisoa haholo mecheng ea indasteri, ho roala lisebelisoa tse hanyetsanang le ho bola.

Lithaele tsa Tungsten carbide li sebelisoa haholo indastering ea merafo. Tungsten carbide e na le khanyetso e ntle ea ho apara. Re itloaetsa likarolo ho latela litšoantšo le boemo bo boletsoeng.
