Sweden is in talks with Turkey on joining NATO and looks forward to strengthening cooperation with Turkey in security and counter-terrorism, Swedish Prime Minister Anders Andersson said recently.  

Andersson held a joint press conference with visiting European Council President Michel in Stockholm on the same day. Andersson said Sweden is in dialogue with Turkey on joining the TREATY and looks forward to strengthening bilateral relations with Turkey, including cooperation in the areas of security and counter-terrorism. She said Sweden would study a number of issues raised by Turkey.  

Speaking at a news conference, Mr. Michel said he believed the Swedish government was taking positive action and taking the necessary steps to reach a solution.

Sweden and Finland formally submitted their applications to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg a few days ago. According to protocol, NATO must admit new members by the "unanimous consent" of 30 members.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said His country would agree to start NATO talks with Sweden and Finland only if they reach written agreements to stop supporting terrorism and lift restrictions on exporting defense equipment to Turkey, Turkish media reported.

Affected by the ever-changing international situation, the supply and prices of international bulk tungsten carbide powder are still very uncertain.

What is Tungsten Carbide WC? 

Tungsten carbide is a substance made of metal tungsten bonded to carbon atoms. It's a compound called WC, which is basically a gray powder. The gray powder can then be sintered to form the desired product. It is a strong material that is often used in industry, but its applications are endless. In fact, tungsten carbide is so hard that only diamond tools can cut it. Tungsten carbide is particularly durable, more durable than other metal counterparts such as gold, silver, or platinum. 

What are the Properties of Tungsten Carbide? 

Tungsten carbide has very unique properties. High strength, high density and high hardness are the distinguishing characteristics of tungsten carbide, making it a versatile material with a variety of uses. Tungsten carbide can withstand extremely high temperatures, making it an excellent material for machining and cutting tools, even furnaces, and can conduct electricity, and vice versa. Abrasion and corrosion resistance are among the other properties of tungsten carbide, demonstrating its versatility and uniqueness.

Industrial Application of Tungsten Carbide 

Tungsten carbide's unique properties and superior quality make it a popular material for many different applications. The range of applications and value of tungsten is not limited to manufacturing and industrial fields, but also plays an important role in the medical field, fashion industry, and many other fields. 

Construction

Buildings need to use tools of high strength and toughness so that they can withstand the materials used to form most structures. Materials such as cement and asphalt are difficult to penetrate and require exceptionally durable and strong blades or drills, such as those made of tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide is commonly used in building materials such as saws and drill bits because it is almost unbreakable.

Industrial alloy 

To make electronics, construction projects, industrial gears, and even aviation equipment, alloys are made by mixing metals with other metals or elements. These alloys have specific properties, such as strength or heat resistance, which are necessary for each product and its use. Alloys made from tungsten carbide are a particularly popular choice for building materials and tools. About 17% of tungsten carbide is used to make these alloys. 

Milling industry 

Due to its durability and robustness, approximately 10% of all WC usage comes from the milling industry. Tungsten carbide is commonly used in milling blades and end mills and can be easily molded while remaining tough. The milling industry needs materials such as tungsten carbide because it is a precision dependent industry; The products created may need to be pulverized, ground or ground, and the versatility of tungsten carbide can be used to make extremely precise milling tools.

Jewelry 

Another refreshing new use for tungsten carbide is in the jewellery industry. Tungsten carbide, if cut, crafted and polished properly, can look just as stunning as any other piece of jewelry you normally wear. In addition to being known for its incredible and above average scratch resistance, tungsten carbide is also an affordable alternative to the gold and silver jewelry we used to buy. The metal has taken the industry by storm because of its durability and is already widely used in earrings, necklaces and rings. 

Production of surgical tools 

Many possible uses of tungsten carbide are still being discovered, and among these new applications, its use in the medical field. Tungsten carbide is commonly used to make surgical instruments because it improves their performance and is resistant to corrosion.  It increases the life and strength of surgical tools. The properties of tungsten carbide, such as its ability to sharpen while maintaining hardness, are well suited to the surgical industry. 

Other uses

Because of its durability and strength, it is used on sporting equipment such as golf clubs.  It can be used for Musical Instruments such as guitar slides. Another important use of tungsten carbide is for the nibs of ballpoint pens. Tungsten carbide is also used in electrical components, especially light bulbs, because of its heat resistance. Another application of tungsten carbide is in armor-piercing ammunition because it is a durable and tough material. In addition, another interesting and avant-garde application of tungsten carbide is in space satellites, because it can resist extreme temperature fluctuations.

In a recent interview with Izvestia, Russian Federation Council Chairman Matviyenko said that Russia is open to dialogue with the West based on mutual respect, but the opportunity to resume dialogue will only come after the end of special military operations.  

Matviyenko also noted that Europe currently lacks politicians who can make independent decisions.  She said the EU's strategy to wean itself off Russian energy by 2027 would be costly, with Russia supplying 40 percent of Europe's gas, 27 percent of its oil, and 46 percent of its coal, and was essentially "anti-European" and a "tax" on US global dominance.

On Sweden's and Finland's plans to join NATO, Matviyenko said Russia will take corresponding measures if NATO weapons and equipment appear in the two countries, and Russia is capable of guaranteeing its own security. 

Besides, speaking by video at an international conference, Ukraine's minister of agricultural policy and Food, said the country's grain tungsten carbide powder are expected to continue to be influenced by international situations.
