You will find tungsten carbide valve seats and balls wherever operating conditions are considered "severe service." Key industries include:
Oil & Gas (Upstream): In choke valves and Christmas tree valves handling sand-laden, high-pressure drilling mud and production fluids that would rapidly erode standard materials.
Chemical & Process Industries: For handling corrosive, abrasive, or toxic slurries and powders, where valve failure could lead to dangerous leaks or costly process shutdowns.
High-Performance Automotive: In racing engines with aggressive camshafts and no leaded fuel for lubrication, tungsten carbide seats prevent valve recession and maintain precise timing and compression.
Power Generation: In feed pump recirculation valves and other critical services where erosion from high-pressure water (cavitation) is a major concern.
