I-Tungsten carbide iyinto eqinile futhi eqinile evame ukusetshenziswa ekusikeni amathuluzi nezingxenye zokugqoka. Yenziwa ngokuhlanganisa i-tungsten nama-athomu e-carbon, okwenza inhlanganisela eqinile kakhulu ekwazi ukugcina ubulukhuni namandla ayo ngisho nasemazingeni okushisa aphezulu. Lokhu kuyenza ibe into efanelekile ukuthi isetshenziswe ezinhlelweni lapho ithuluzi lokusika noma ingxenye yokugqoka izoba ngaphansi kwamazinga aphezulu okushisa nokuguga, njengokumba kanye nokusebenza kokugaya.

Ukwengeza, i-tungsten carbide nayo imelana kakhulu nokugqwala, okwenza kube usizo ezinhlelweni lapho ithuluzi lokusika noma ingxenye yokugqoka izovezwa ezindaweni ezinokhahlo. Sekukonke, inhlanganisela yobulukhuni, amandla, kanye nokumelana nokushisa nokugqwala kwenza i-tungsten carbide ibe ukukhetha okudumile okusetshenziselwa ukusika amathuluzi nezingxenye zokugqoka.
