Loaʻa i nā mea TC nā hiʻohiʻona o ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe, ka ikaika, ke kū'ē i ka abrasion a me ke kū'ē i ka corrosion. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo "Industrial Tooth". Ma muli o kāna hana kiʻekiʻe, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka ʻoihana koa, aerospace, ka hana mīkini, ka metallurgy, ka ʻeli ʻaila, ke kamaʻilio uila, ke kuhikuhipuʻuone a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. No ka laʻana, i loko o nā pamu, nā compressors a me nā mea hoʻonāukiuki, hoʻohana ʻia nā sila TC ma ke ʻano he sila mechanical. ʻO ke kū'ē maikaʻi i ka abrasion a me ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe e kūpono ia no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana pale i ke komo ʻana me ka mahana kiʻekiʻe, ka friction a me ka corrosion.
Wahi a kona ʻano kemika a me nā ʻano hoʻohana, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo TC i ʻehā mau māhele: tungsten cobalt (YG), tungsten-titanium (YT), tungsten titanium tantalum (YW), a me ka titanium carbide (YN).
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻo Victor i ka TC ʻano YG.
