The global tungsten carbide market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 4.8% during the forecast period. The market is mainly driven by increasing research & development activities to augment the growth in technology and superior properties compared to other materials.
Notably, tungsten carbide is one of the metal carbides, which is produced by the reaction of tungsten hexachloride with methanol or methane. On account of tungsten carbide’s high resistivity to abrasion, it is extensively used in the manufacturing industries for cutting tools. However, it can decompose at higher temperatures and revert into its initial form, as tungsten and a carbide.
