Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Fitting Advantages

Tungsten carbide nozzle fitting materials include cast iron, ceramic, tungsten carbide, silicone carbide, and boron carbide. Cast iron nozzles are now very rare as they wear out after just 6 to 8 hours. Ceramic nozzles are used only with non aggressive abrasive in light duty equipment and blast cabinets. Tungsten, Silicon, and Boron Carbide are the most popular for the majority of blasting applications due to their long life.
