Loaʻa i nā mea TC nā hiʻohiʻona o ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe, ka ikaika, ke kūpaʻa abrasion a me ke kūpaʻa corrosion. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo "Industrial Tooth". Ma muli o kāna hana kiʻekiʻe, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka ʻoihana koa, aerospace, mechanical processing, metallurgy, oil drilling, electronic communication, architecture and other fields. No ka laʻana, i nā pumps, compressors a me agitators, hoʻohana ʻia nā sila TC e like me nā sila mechanical. ʻO ke kūpaʻa abrasion maikaʻi a me ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe e kūpono ia no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana ʻaʻahu me ka wela kiʻekiʻe, friction a me ka corrosion.
E like me kona haku mele a me ka hoʻohana ʻana, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka TC i ʻehā mau ʻāpana: tungsten cobalt (YG), tungsten-titanium (YT), tungsten titanium tantalum (YW), a me titanium carbide (YN).
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻo Victor i ka YG type TC.
