    Fused Tungsten Carbide — Switzerland

    Swiss hard-facing and thermal spray service companies — supplying the Swiss railway, tunnelling (NEAT Gotthard and Lötschberg base tunnels required extensive TBM tooling), and mining equipment maintenance sectors — use fused tungsten carbide (W₂C) grit in PTA and OAW hard-facing overlays on TBM disc cutters, rail switch components, and tunnel boring pick holders requiring extreme abrasion resistance in Swiss alpine rock formations (granite, gneiss, dolomite). Switzerland's extensive network of railway tunnels and ongoing AlpTransit expansion project represent a technically demanding market for hard-facing tungsten carbide grit, where consistent quality directly affects TBM cutter life and tunnel boring advance rate through hard alpine geology. Jayanth Tungsten supplies fused W₂C grit via Basel under HS 2849 with full mesh distribution and total carbon documented per lot.

    Export questions

    Which mesh sizes are commonly exported?

    30/40, 40/60, 60/80, and 100/120 ASTM mesh are the most common export grades for diamond tool and hard-facing applications, though the full range from −40 to +600 mesh can be supplied to order.

    Can you supply ultra-fine tungsten powder for Swiss watchmaking and precision component manufacturing?

    Yes. Jayanth Tungsten supplies W metal powder and WC powder in sub-micron to fine grades (F.S.S.S. 0.8–4 µm) for Swiss precision component and micro-machining applications. Full chemistry CoA (W min. 99.85%, O max. 0.06%, ICP impurity table) is provided per lot. Shipments clear Swiss customs at Basel under HS 8101/2849. Contact us for sample availability.
