Why tungsten heavy alloy is adopted in Military?
Nowadays, tungsten heavy alloy is increasingly adopted as the raw material to make parts of military products, such as bullet, armor and shells, shrapnel head, grenade, hunting gun, bullet warheads, bulletproof vehicles, tank panzers, cannons, firearms, etc. A major use for tungsten heavy alloy is in kinetic energy penetrators, where they are in direct competition with depleted uranium (DU). Recent investigations conducted at the Army Research Laboratory show that DU’s superior properties resulted from its ability to localize shear during ballistic penetration events. Therefore, it was argued that if localized shear can be imparted to tungsten heavy alloys, these alloys would exhibit penetration performance matching that of depleted uranium (which had become an environmental problem).

Product Description
Properties & application of tungsten heavy alloy in military
In order to reduce the adoption of environmental hazardous materials in the military field, tungsten related products are used as a nontoxic substitute for lead and depleted uranium in bullet and shot. High-density metals such as tungsten are now widely employed; the goal is to create functional, high density, non-toxic arms projectiles with controlled impact behavior. The special properties of tungsten alloy render it the most ideal counterweight materials.
We can offer the tungsten heavy alloy rod, ball, cube, cylinder, block, etc. for military defense usage, such as bomblet, armor-piercing bullet, etc. We welcome the opportunity to cooperate with our customers in the design of individual specifications. Our mission is to meet individual customer requirements. Flexibility is our strength and we pride ourselves on being able to find the right solution to customer's needs.
A tungsten alloy cube is a solid cube-shaped piece made from a tungsten alloy. Tungsten alloys are metallic materials composed primarily of tungsten, along with other elements such as nickel, copper, or iron. These alloys are known for their high density, strength, and resistance to heat and corrosion.
Tungsten alloy cubes are used in various applications, including aerospace, defense, medical, and sports industries. Due to their high density, they are often used as counterweights or ballast in aircraft and missiles. Their strength and durability make them suitable for tooling and machining applications. In the medical field, tungsten alloy cubes are used as radiation shields and collimators in radiation therapy.
The dimensions of a tungsten alloy cube can vary depending on the specific application and requirements. They are typically available in various sizes, ranging from small cubes that can fit in the palm of your hand to larger ones used in industrial applications.
Overall, tungsten alloy cubes are valued for their high density, strength, and resistance to heat and corrosion, making them versatile and useful in a wide range of industries.
