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 industries. Applied in wear parts such as nozzles, seals, and bearings where high durability under abrasive conditions is required. Also used in armor-piercing ammunition and as electrodes in high-temperature applications. Its density and hardness make it suitable for ballast and counterweights in aerospace and racing. Frequently combined with cobalt as a binder to enhance toughness in industrial components.
