Tungsten Carbide Cobalt, Powder Grade TS
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.

Technological properties
Application areas
Powder grade TS was developed for use in a wide range of tooling products, such as indexable inserts, woodworking tools and wear parts.
Other
Grade TS has a small amount of 1-2 μm sized cubic carbides which increases the hardness and decreases the density of the material. Thanks to the fine particle size of the powder, milling characteristics are great and comparable to virgin WC-Co powders.
