Tungsten Alloy Bar

Tungsten alloy bar is consist of 85-99% tungsten with balanced commonly nickel and iron or copper. The alloys are made by liquid-phase sintering to give a structure consisting of almost pure tungsten particles in a matrix of the alloy elements. Tungsten heavy alloy, with densities between 15.8 and 18.75 g/cm3, represent the heaviest materials generally available to the engineer. It has excellent radiation resistance, thermal and electric conductivities, corrosion resistance and machinable.


Applications for Tungsten Alloy

    Radiation shield, collimator, nuclear shielding, beamstop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multi leaf collimator;
    Balanced part; tungsten sinker bar, heavy metal boring bar, tuyacht, sailboat, submarine and other vessels crank camshafts, holders for Well Logging, Racing Weights. vibration damping and dynamic balancing. Tungsten sinker bar, Tungsten bucking bar, Tungsten boring bar, Tungsten Sinkers, tungsten alloy counterweights for golf and tungsten alloy dart parts spheres, cubes, and projectile shapes;
    High-temperature die, Electroheat , brass and copper, Tooling for low-pressure die-casting of aluminum and brass, Hot upsetting dies, Filler rods for die repair, upsetting anvil block, electrical rivet;

    Balanced ball for missile and plane; golf and tungsten alloy dart parts spheres, cubes, and projectile shapes;
    Core for armor piercing bullet measurement.

As you can see, tungsten alloy mateial is used in so many fields, for more details, you could go tungsten alloy application.

Tungsten Alloy Sheet

Tungsten alloy sheet is widely used in radiation shields, packaging materials, cable, shipbuilding, electro-vacuum industries, metallurgical machinery and electronics. Choose the best material, all will tested by our quality department, and before loading, we will test all, in order to supply you the best products.


Tungsten Alloy Extrusion Die Advantages

Hard steel wire is generally made by forcing solid metal through a hole, called a die, under such intense pressure that it is extruded like pasta.
However, can you imagine the incredible forces that must be acting on the holes? In some cases diamond or sapphire (nearly as hard) dies are used, but this one is made of a tungsten alloy, probably because of its high strength even at very high temperatures.
On account of its prosperities of high heat resistance, good hardness, excellent plasticity ability, tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) is quite suitable material for tolls such as extrusion dies, die casting components, etc., especially when it is employed in extrusion die of copper related alloy, the manufacture of aluminum, zinc and brass castings. Extrusion dies are made from a sintered material consisting of Mo and/or W containing 2-60% by volume of high melting point non-metallic components which are free from oxygen (except possibly in impurity amounts).





Tungsten Alloy Tube

Tungsten alloy tube has high melting temperature, high strength, good thermal conductivity and spalling resistance. It can be used as the parts of electron tubes and the heating elements of the high temperature furnace.
It is also mainly used for high temperature furnace components, crucible, missile rockets nozzle high temperature furnace, etc.

Why Use Tungsten Alloy for Hunting Shot?

High density, great hardness and resistance to high temperature make tungsten to be one of the most sought-after materials for shotgun pellets in shooting history. The density of tungsten alloy is about 18g/cm3, only gold, platinum, and a few other rare metals have a similar density. So it is denser than any other shot material, including lead, steel or bismuth. To understand how the density factors into performance, let’s look at two spheres about the same size, a golf ball and a ping-pong ball. The golf ball is far denser and will fly farther and hit harder. Now reduce that size down to two single No. 4 pellets, one steel and the other a tungsten alloy. Get the picture? The tungsten will fly farther, hit harder and penetrate deeper. That means more birds, farther out, with fewer cripples. Another unique property of tungsten is that it is non-toxic, it is friendly to the environment, so tungsten alloy hunting shot is safe for people to handle and work with.


Tungsten Alloy Counterweight

Tungsten alloy Counterweight is also called balance weight, which is used in applications such as yacht, sailboat, submarine and other vessels crank camshafts, holders for Well Logging, Racing Weights, vibration damping and dynamic balancing.
