Cemented carbides are the hardest man-made metal-matrix composites. They are used in every major industry worldwide, from ballpoint pens - to mining - to petroleum drilling. The unique properties of carbide in its carious compositions and forms have made process industries and durable goods manufacturers more efficient by reducing machine downtime. The term cemented carbides refers to metallic carbides - fine particles of tungsten carbide bonded or cemented together in a matrix of a metallic element of a lower melting point such as cobalt or nickel. The process of powder metallurgy is skillfully employed to produce cemented carbides.
