What Is a Tungsten Carbide Nozzle?
A tungsten carbide nozzle is a high-hardness nozzle used in 3D printers.
In the 3D printing process, melted filament is extruded from the 3D printer’s main unit through the nozzle. The filament is then narrowed through the hole at the tip of the nozzle, forming parts by stacking layers.
This nozzle is primarily employed in the manufacturing of high-precision 3D printed components. Being made of tungsten carbide, it exhibits resistance to high temperatures and wear.
The structure of the nozzle consists of a main body made of tungsten carbide, featuring a hole for extrusion. Its notable characteristic is the high hardness. This property provides excellent heat resistance and wear resistance, making it suitable for the production of 3D printed components that require such qualities. The precise extrusion of filament through fine holes enables high-precision 3D printing.
