The Performances of the Tungsten Alloy in Modern Industries

Tungsten powder is the main raw material for the processing of powder metallurgy tungsten products and tungsten alloys, and pure tungsten powder can be made into silk, rod, tube, plate and other processed materials and certain shape products. Tungsten powder mixed with other metal powder can be made into various tungsten alloys, such as tungsten-molybdenum alloy, tungsten-rhenium alloy, tungsten-copper alloy and high-density tungsten alloy.

Tungsten and its alloys are used in a wide range of applications, including high-end technology industries, military, mechanical manufacturing and medical devices.

Aerospace industry

As an alloy element, tungsten and other materials can maintain high strength, creep resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance at high temperature, which is of great importance for the aerospace industry. The tungsten alloy acts as rotor material for gyroscopes in aircraft, satellites, various missiles, spacecraft and nuclear submarines that act as navigation and control systems.

Military industry

Due to its good corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and tensile strength, the tungsten alloy can be used as a small arrow in the super-lethal projectile; tungsten alloy used as navigation gyroscope rotor, counterweight screw, etc. in the missiles; Tungsten alloy can also be used in tank engines as a counterweight in the governor, etc.

Machinery manufacturing industry

Tungsten alloys are used as balanced components in the machinery and instrument manufacturing industry. For example, the installation of high-density alloy counterweights on the drill pipe of oil drilling rig can greatly improve drilling verticality and oil drilling efficiency.

Medical device industry

Due to its strong ability to attenuate x-rays, the tungsten alloy is an ideal material to be used as a shielding element or container for various radioactive sources, therefore, it is used in medicine as a radiation shield and a y-ray knife.

Besides that, Tungsten alloy is widely used in electronic communication industry as a BP machine, vibration material in mobile phone, and fish falling in fishing.
