Matters needing attention in transportation of tungsten carbide

Tungsten carbide is about twice as stiff as steel and has a Young's modulus of about 530-700 GPa (77,000 to 102,000 ksi), which is twice the density of steel and almost in between. That lead and gold. It is as hard as corundum (α-Al2Ø3), and can only be polished and finished with abrasives with higher hardness such as cubic boron nitride and diamond powder, grinding wheels and compounds.

Safety protection: Use respirators, dust-proof clothing, gloves, and glasses that meet the requirements. Dust leakage must be prevented at all stages of production. Workers are required to undergo pre-employment physical examinations, which should be regularly checked once a year. When there are obvious symptoms in the upper respiratory tract, it is necessary to temporarily mobilize the work and get rid of the contact with tungsten. When pulmonary sclerosis or external respiratory dysfunction occurs, they should be transferred from work.

Storage: It should be stored in a cool and dry warehouse. During transportation, the packaging container should be kept intact and protected from rain and sunlight.

Packaging, storage and transportation: The product is packed in iron drums (plastic drums) lined with polyethylene plastic bags, and the net weight of each bag should not exceed 50kg. The words "moisture-proof" and "upward" should be displayed on the outer packaging drum. The product should be stored in a cool and dry warehouse. During transportation, pay attention to the packaging container in good condition and prevent rain and sunlight exposure.
