Tungsten carbide specifications detail its exceptional hardness (Mohs 9-9.5), high compressive strength (up to ~6.8 GPa), and rigidity, making it superior to steel, with properties varying by grade (e.g., WC-Co percentages) affecting density (around 15-16 g/cm³), thermal conductivity, and wear resistance. Key factors include composition (WC-Co ratios), grain size (smaller for harder, tougher grades), and mechanical/thermal metrics like Young's Modulus, Tensile Strength, and Melting Point (~2,780°C) for specific application
