Used extensively in cutting tools and machining for its extreme hardness and wear resistance. Commonly found in drill bits, milling cutters, and tool inserts for metalworking, mining, and construction equipment. Also applied in wear-resistant parts such as seals, bearings, and nozzles. Frequently used in armor-piercing ammunition and as a component in aerospace and defense applications due to its high density and strength. Serves as a catalyst support in certain chemical reactions and in electronic components for its conductivity and durability. Additionally, used in consumer products like wedding rings and watch cases for scratch-resistant properties.
