Customized Tungsten Alloy Blocks from China Suppliers - High Density, Excellent Conductivity, Reliable Factory
Properties of Tungsten Alloy Block
Tungsten alloy is a kind of W-based matrix with the W content of 85-99%. Its density can be up to 16.5-19.0g/cm3, which makes the product to be the ideal raw material as counterweight. Tungsten alloy block can be used in racing cars, airplanes and sailboats where size plays an important role. Besides, it has excellent corrosion resistance and machinability.
Applications of Tungsten Alloy Block
Due to the above mentioned advantage of tungsten alloy, it can be manufactured as the parts of military defense, extrusion die, some counterweights, such as yacht counterweights, vehicle counterweights, airplane counterweights, helicopter counterweights, boat counterweights, tank counterweights, etc.
Extrusion die is one of the forming techniques used in material processing, consisting of forcing the work pieces through a die, thereby reducing its cross section and increasing its length. Tungsten alloy block is the popular material for extrusion die because of its high melting point and corrosion resistance.
Tungsten alloy can be manufactured for military applications, extrusion die, various counterweights such as yacht counterweights, vehicle counterweights, airplane counterweights, helicopter counterweights, boat counterweights, tank counterweights, etc. It is successfully used in so many applications due to its high density, high melting point, small capacity, excellent hardness, superior wearing resistance, high ultimate tensile strength, high temperature resistance, etc. Especially, Because of its good radiation adsorption capability, it is now widely used in manufacturing medical appliances, such as radiation shielding wall, block for CT facility, etc.
