Abrasive Particle Size vs Bushing Lifespan: Practical Thresholds

Tungsten carbide bushings are widely used in pumps, compressors, and slurry systems because they resist wear better than most materials. But even tungsten carbide has limits when abrasive particles are present in the fluid. The size, hardness, and concentration of these particles have a major impact on bushing lifespan. This article explains how abrasive particle […]

Reading Wear Patterns on Tungsten Carbide Bushings: What They Tell You

Tungsten carbide bushings are used in pumps, compressors, mixers, and many rotating systems because they resist wear and last long under heavy load. But when a bushing begins to fail, the wear pattern on its surface tells a story. By reading these patterns, engineers can identify the real cause of failure and prevent the same […]

Detecting Misalignment vs Poor Clearance in WC Bushing Failures

Tungsten carbide (WC) bushings are used in pumps, compressors, and industrial machines because they resist wear and work well under heavy load. But they can still fail early when misalignment or poor clearance is present. These two problems look similar, but their causes and solutions are very different. This guide explains how to tell misalignment […]

Why Tungsten Carbide Bushings Crack: Root Causes and Fixes

Tungsten carbide bushings are known for their high hardness and long life. But they can still crack when the working conditions or installation steps are not correct. Cracks reduce performance and may cause pump or machine failure. This guide explains the main reasons why these bushings crack and what you can do to avoid these […]

Storage and Packaging Best Practices for Tungsten Carbide Bushings

Tungsten carbide bushings are strong and wear-resistant, but they still need proper storage and packaging to stay in good condition. Poor handling can lead to corrosion, cracks, or size changes that affect pump or machine performance. This guide explains simple and reliable best practices for keeping your bushings safe before use. Why Proper Storage Matters […]
