We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Tungsten Carbide",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Miniature pumps add dosing capabilities from
Michael Smith Engineers, which we summarised at the time by saying "Four series of pumps with the dosage volumes cover the submicrolitre to litre range for both nonlubricating and highly viscous liquids".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release European distribution deal signed for coatings from
Hardide Coatings: "Hardide Coatings has entered into its first agency distribution agreement in continental Europe with the appointment of Afilex France to promote and generate sales of its tungsten carbide coating".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Hardide Coatings
- take a look at Coatings facility gets first order
which says: "UK-based Hardide Coatings has developed a tungsten carbide based coating which offers ultra-hardness, toughness, low friction and chemical resistance".
Take a look also at the news release from Metris, CMM meets university budget,
as well as Seal-less pumps raise mining machine reliability from Wanner Engineering,
and Coatings specialist scoops business award from Hardide Coatings.
