Tungsten steel has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, strength and toughness, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, especially its high hardness and wear resistance, which remains basically unchanged even at a temperature of 500 ° C. There is still a high hardness at 1000 °C. Carbide is widely used as materials, such as turning tools, milling cutters, planers, drills, boring tools, etc., for cutting cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics, chemical fiber, graphite, glass, stone and ordinary steel, can also be used for cutting resistance Hard-to-machine materials such as hot steel, stainless steel, high manganese steel, and tool steel. The cutting speed of new cemented carbides is several hundred times that of carbon steel.

Tungsten steel can also be used to make rock drilling tools, mining tools, drilling tools, measuring gages, wear parts, metal grinding tools, cylinder liners, precision bearings, nozzles, etc.
