    Tungsten Carbide Grit — South Africa

    South African mining equipment manufacturers and hard-facing fabricators — serving AngloGold Ashanti's underground gold mining operations, Sibanye-Stillwater's platinum mines, and the Northern Cape's iron ore and manganese mining sector — use hard-facing tungsten carbide grit (apparent density 5.5–6.0 g/cc, Vickers hardness ~3,000 HV, mesh 30/40 to 100/120) in OAW overlay welding electrodes and PTA hardfacing deposits on drill bits, bucket teeth, scraper blades, and conveyor wear components. South Africa's mineral extraction operations rank among the world's deepest and most demanding, requiring hard-facing consumables that can survive the extreme abrasion and impact conditions of deep-level platinum and gold mining. Jayanth Tungsten supplies crushed fused W₂C grit with consistent mesh sizing and total carbon documented per lot for South African hard-facing electrode producers and mining equipment fabricators.

    Export questions

    What hardness can I expect from this grit?

    Hard-facing tungsten carbide grit has an approximate Vickers hardness of 3,000 HV, with apparent density 5.5–6.0 g/cc and total carbon 3.5–4.1%. Mesh fractions from 30/40 to 100/120 are available — confirm your application (overlay, cladding, drill cone) for a mesh recommendation.

    Do you supply tungsten carbide and fused WC grit for South African mining hard-facing?

    Yes. Jayanth Tungsten supplies fused WC grit (apparent density 5.90 g/cc, mesh 30/40 to 100/120) and WC powder for South African mining equipment manufacturers and hard-facing fabricators. Sea freight from Nhava Sheva to Durban is 15–18 days. Full export documentation (commercial invoice, CoA, certificate of origin, SDS) under HS 2849 is provided with every shipment.
