Description

The zinc process is an environmentally friendly way to reclaim tungsten carbide-cobalt from used hard materials, such as cutting inserts, milling tools or other hard material compacts. This secondary raw material stream provides cost-effective and reliable high quality tungsten carbide powder grades. GTP's subsidiary Tikomet has consistently made improvements to the zinc reclaim process for more than two decades. Switch to an environmentally friendly raw material source and rely on our recycling experience.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.

Application areas

Powder grade S was developed for use in a wide range of tooling products, such as hardmetal rods, indexable inserts, woodworking tools and wear parts.

Other

Grade S powder has an uniform WC grain size distribution with evenly distributed WC and Cobalt particles. Due to the fine particle size of the powder, milling characteristics are excellent and comparable to virgin WC-Co powders.
