YWC2 is a tungsten carbide-cobalt composite (WC-Co) metal matrix material, part of the cemented carbide family widely used in cutting, wear, and impact applications. It is employed in machining tools, rock drilling, mining equipment, and wear-resistant components where high hardness and toughness balance is required. This material system is preferred over monolithic ceramics in applications demanding both edge durability and resistance to mechanical shock.
