What Is Hard Metals? Hard metals, also known as cemented or sintered carbides, are composite materials composed of hard particles, typically tungsten carbide, held together by a binder metal, usually cobalt. This combination results in a material with exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and strength. Hard metals are crucial in Neway's manufacturing processes, especially in powder metallurgy methods like Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and Powder Compression Molding (PCM). Tungsten carbide, one of the primary hard materials used, contributes to the durability and precision of custom parts. Hard metals commonly used by Neway in injection molding and powder compression molding include Tungsten Alloy : MIM W-Ni-Fe , MIM W-Ni-Cu , MIM W-Cu , MIM W-Ni-Co , MIM W-Fe . Typical Tungsten Alloys and Applications? Tungsten Carbide: Composition: Tungsten combined with carbon in the form of tungsten carbide. Applications: Renowned for its extreme hardness and wear resistance, tungsten carbide
