Tungsten Heavy Alloy Hollow Tube for Military

As tungsten heavy alloy is high density with small capacity, high temperature resistance, reduction in press down-time, minimal extruded metal pick-up, high impact resistance and crack resistance, wonderful shock resistance, good corrosion resistance, etc. Therefore, tungsten alloy products are increasingly welcome by public. Tungsten alloy tubes can be used in various fields, and also can be machined into different size. We can provide all kinds of tube according to your requirements.

Tungsten alloy tube is a suitable raw material for radiation protection for its high density (more than 60% denser than lead), good mechanical strength, and low thermal expansion with good corrosion resistance, high radiation absorption (superior to lead), simplified life cycle and high tensile strength. Tungsten heavy alloy can provide the same degree of protection as lead whilst significantly reducing the overall volume and thickness of shields and containers. Besides, compared with lead or depleted uranium in the past, tungsten heavy alloy is more acceptable in this case, for tungsten alloy tubes are radiation-free and non-toxic.

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.
