Carbides are made by blending micron-sized tungsten carbide particles with Cobalt (or Nickel) powders. This mixture is placed in a mold and compacted to a net or near net shape. ... As the Cobalt flows it coats or wets each grain. When the Cobalt cools it solidifies cementing the grains together forming a composite.
