Tungsten Carbide in Oil & Gas Applications

​Tungsten carbide components are widely used across oil and gas equipment thanks to their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Their versatility makes them ideal for drilling tools, valve components, seals, and pump parts.

However, the suitability of tungsten carbide for a specific application depends on operational conditions—such as temperature, pressure, and exposure to corrosive media. Material grade selection and binder composition (e.g., cobalt or nickel) should be matched to the environment to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
