[00:00:00]How do you turn loose powder [music] into a solid block? You've probably seen compressed biscuits. Immense [music] pressure forces the crumbs together into a high-density block.

[00:00:11]Cemented carbide molding works the exact same way. A multi-ton hydraulic press [music] instantly compacts fine tungsten cobalt powder into shape, but don't be fooled. Right now, [music] it's as brittle as a biscuit and easily snaps.
