In recent years, tungsten carbide rollers have been widely used in steel production because of their excellent properties.

Carbides are made by blending micron-sized tungsten carbide and cobalt powders, then compacting the mixture in a mold and 
sintering the molded part at a temperature high enough to cause the cobalt to flow.

Tungsten carbide has a series of excellent properties, such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat 
resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., especially its high hardness and wear resistance, which remain basically unchanged even at 
500 ~C, and still have high hardness at 1000 ~C.

Tungsten carbide, often referred to as the hardest metal, has a compressive strength much greater than any metal or alloy, 
including steel. Because it is highly resistant to abrasion, it is ideal for use in a variety of wear applications.

Traditionally, tungsten carbide components have been used in metalworking applications where tooling stresses are great and made tungsten carbide rollers. However, there are numerous non-metal uses, such as crushing/pulverizing stone, where tungsten carbide's strength and wear characteristics offer a cost-effective solution.
