    Fused Tungsten Carbide — South Africa

    South African diamond core drilling — the primary exploration method for gold, platinum, diamonds, iron ore, and base metals across the Bushveld, Witwatersrand, and Northern Cape geological provinces — uses fused tungsten carbide (W₂C) grit (apparent density 5.90 g/cc, total carbon 3.5–4.1%, ASTM mesh 30/40 to 100/120) in drill crown segment matrices to withstand the abrasive and hard rock formations of these world-class mineral deposits. South Africa is also a major manufacturer and exporter of diamond core bits and related exploration drilling consumables, with local manufacturers supplying the African continent's exploration drilling market. Jayanth Tungsten supplies fused W₂C grit to South African core bit manufacturers and hard-facing fabricators with consistent mesh sizing and apparent density documented per lot for crown matrix quality control.
