Why Tungsten Carbide ?

The mere suspicion that carbide is a brittle material had held back its use for quite some time, till a number of actual trials were conducted. It is some 50 years, since tests in the USA indicated that hard metal slips could outlast steel by at least ten times and in certain conditions even 100 times.
