The main raw materials for tungsten products and cemented carbides, and the additives for chemical products such as intelligent glass and thermal insulation coatings; cathode materials for lithium ion battery; catalysts for petrochemical industry, colorants for paints, additives for fireproof fabrics, etc.
It is an important raw material for the production of cemented carbide. It can improve the hardness of cemented carbide, but reduce the transverse fracture strength and relative density of cemented carbide at the same time.
It is used as the main raw material of tungsten products and tungsten alloys and for making tungsten carbide powder and cemented carbide tools.
