Diamond is also known as "diamond", which is the original body of what we commonly call diamond. It is a mineral composed of the element carbon and is an allotrope of the element carbon. Diamond is the hardest substance naturally occurring in nature, so compared with carbide, which hardness is better?
Many people know that tungsten carbide is relatively hard, and the products processed by tungsten carbide greatly improve its hardness, durability and wear resistance. Many people don't have much idea about the hardness of different objects, only know that diamond is the hardest substance, in fact, diamond is another name for diamond, so tungsten carbide is definitely not as hard as diamond.
Although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, but its hardness is also very hard, tungsten steel (cemented carbide) has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, especially its high hardness and wear resistance, even at a temperature of 500 °C, it remains basically unchanged, and it still has a high hardness at 1000 °C. It belongs to the top hardness ranking of the substance, through the query we know that the Mohs hardness of tungsten carbide is about 9 to 9.5, and the Mohs hardness of diamond is 10, and the Mohs hardness is the highest benchmark of diamond hardness.
Although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, some other physical parameters are much better than diamond, such as its stiffness can reach twice that of steel, and the Young's modulus is about 530-700 GPa, which is also twice that of steel.
It is precisely because of the high hardness of tungsten carbide and excellent other properties that it will be greatly used in aerospace, oil and gas, chemical industry, fluid control, construction machinery and other fields.
