Global and U.S. High Pressure Tungsten Carbide Market Report, Published by QY Research.

High Pressure Tungsten Carbide is a sintered composite material composed mainly of tungsten carbide (WC) particles bonded with metallic cobalt or nickel under extremely high temperature and pressure. This process produces a dense, ultra-hard structure with outstanding wear resistance, compressive strength, and toughness. It is commonly used in high-pressure applications such as drilling tools, seal rings, dies, cutting inserts, and nozzles operating under harsh environments. The material maintains its hardness and dimensional stability even at elevated temperatures, making it indispensable in oil and gas exploration, mining, metalworking, and aerospace industries. High pressure tungsten carbide's combination of extreme durability and chemical inertness provides superior performance in abrasive and corrosive conditions.

Case study for bidding

Time: July 2023

Supplier: CERATIZIT

Buyer: Halliburton

Product: High-Pressure Tungsten Carbide Nozzles (Co-bonded, submicron grain size)

Quantity: 1,800 tons

Contract Value: USD 86 million

Delivery Timeline: July 2024

Detailed Application Scenario

In this project, Halliburton adopted CERATIZIT's high-pressure tungsten carbide nozzles for use in hydraulic fracturing and oilfield drilling systems. The components were engineered to endure extreme erosive wear and pressure exceeding 1,000 bar, ensuring consistent fluid flow and extended service life in abrasive slurry environments.

The submicron-grain carbide provided superior hardness and corrosion resistance compared to standard grades, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. The cobalt binder ensured toughness and resistance under cyclic pressure loading.

Halliburton selected this solution over conventional steel and ceramic nozzles due to its higher wear resistance, thermal stability, and longer operational lifespan. It enabled improved drilling accuracy, minimized equipment replacement frequency, and enhanced overall process efficiency in high-pressure energy extraction operations. This case exemplifies the critical role of tungsten carbide in ensuring durability and performance under extreme industrial conditions.
