Tungsten carbide u'amea malo ua mamanuina faapitoa e tetee atu ai le pala, abrasion, ofuina, ita, se'ese'ese ofu ma aafiaga uma i luga o le matafaga ma fafo ma luga ma lalo o le sami.

Tungsten carbide o se vailaʻau vailaʻau inorganic lea e aofia ai numera o tungsten ma carbon atoms. Tungsten carbide, lea e lauiloa foi o le "carbide sima", "faiga malo" po o "metal malo", o se ituaiga o mea metallurgic lea e aofia ai le pauta tungsten carbide (fuainumera vailaau: WC) ma isi fusifusia (cobalt, nickel. etc.). e mafai ona oomi ma faia i foliga faʻapitoa, e mafai ona olo ma saʻo, ma e mafai ona faʻapipiʻi pe faʻapipiʻi i isi metala. O ituaiga eseese ma togi o carbide e mafai ona mamanuina e pei ona manaʻomia mo le faʻaaogaina i le faʻaaogaina o loʻo faʻamoemoeina, e aofia ai vailaʻau vailaʻau, suauʻu & kesi ma le gataifale e pei o le mining ma le tipiina o meafaigaluega, faʻafefe ma oti, ofuina vaega, ma isi.

Tungsten carbide o loʻo faʻaaogaina lautele i masini faʻapisinisi, faʻaogaina meafaigaluega faʻasaʻo ma le faʻafefe. Tungsten carbide o le mea sili ona lelei e tetee atu ai i le vevela ma le gau i mea uma foliga faigata.

Tungsten carbide togavao ma maualuga maaa ma transverse rupture malosi, ma e sili atu le faatinoga i le tetee abrasion ma corrosion, lea e mafai ai ona faaaoga lautele i le tele o alamanuia.

O le lima o le tungsten carbide bush o le a faʻaaogaina tele mo le fesuiaʻiina o le lagolago, faʻaogaina, anti-tuʻi ma le faʻamaufaʻailoga o le axle o le afi, centrifuge, puipuia ma le vavaeeseina o le pamu eletise faʻafefe i tulaga leaga o galuega o le televave o le taamilosaga, faʻafefe o le oneone ma kasa pala i totonu o le fanua suauu, e pei o le faase'e lima lima, lima axle afi ma faamau fa'amau lima axle.
