Cemented Carbide Pin for Horseshoe pin


A carbide (tungsten carbide, WC-Co) pin for horseshoes is a precision, wear-resistant stud designed to boost traction and extend the life of a horseshoe, typically made of sintered WC with 6–8% cobalt binder (grades like YG6/YG8). Farriers install them by drilling tapered holes in the toe/heel of the steel shoe and driving the tapered pin in for a press-fit, no threads needed; they outlast steel studs 10×+ and resist wear on hard roads, ice, or gravel.

Tungsten Carbide Studs Pin with High Hardness


Tungsten carbide pin (the typo is common). It’s a precision cylindrical component made from tungsten carbide (WC, usually with cobalt binder, e.g., WC-92% + Co-8%), produced via powder pressing, high-temperature sintering, and precision grinding to ultra-tight tolerances (often ±0.002–0.005 mm). It’s valued for extreme hardness (~89+ HRA, Mohs 8.5–9), wear resistance, high rigidity, and dimensional stability even under heat/abrasion, far outperforming steel pins.
