The Tungsten Metal powder is converted to Tungsten Carbide (WC) by reaction with pure Carbon powder in furnace, by a process called carborization. Tungsten Carbide is, quantitatively, the most important Tungsten compound. Because of its hardness, it is the main constituent in cemented carbide (hard metal).
