ʻO Tungsten carbide kahi mea paʻakikī a ikaika loa i hoʻohana mau ʻia i nā mea ʻoki a me nā ʻāpana. Hana ʻia ia ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka tungsten a me ka carbon atoms, kahi mea paʻakikī loa e hiki ai ke mālama i kona paʻakikī a me kona ikaika a hiki i nā wela kiʻekiʻe. He mea kūpono kēia no ka hoʻohanaʻana i nā noi kahi e hoʻokuʻuʻia ai ka meaʻoki a iʻole ka'āpana lole i nā kiʻekiʻe o ka wela a me kaʻaʻahu, e like me ka hana wili a me ka wili.

Hoʻohui ʻia, kūpaʻa nui ka tungsten carbide i ka corrosion, e hoʻohana pono ai i nā noi kahi e hōʻike ʻia ai ka mea ʻoki a i ʻole ka ʻāpana ʻāpana i nā wahi paʻakikī. Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, ʻo ka hui pū ʻana o ka paʻakikī, ka ikaika, a me ke kūʻē ʻana i ka wela a me ka corrosion e hana i ka tungsten carbide i koho kaulana no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻoki a me nā ʻāpana.
