What is the Tungsten Heavy Alloy used for?

The tungsten heavy alloy is popularly referred to as the 3-high (3H) alloy, namely the high-density, high-strength, and high-hardness alloy, which is widely used as counterweights.

The counterweight for machinery, ships, aircraft

Mechanical balance hammer and flying hammer; heavy poles used in the oil and other drilling industries; vibrator used in mobile phones, game machines, etc.; ballast counterweights and counterweights for navigation and sailing vessels, etc.; gyroscopes, aircraft counterweights, and so on used in aerospace.

The counterweight in sporting goods

The counterweight in racing cars and racing boats; golf heads of various specifications and requirements of the counterweight components.

Special counterweight requirements

Any place where there is a need for counterweight but a relatively small volume of space is the best place for a tungsten heavy alloy.

Adding the tungsten alloy to the car can maintain the car's high performance in operation, providing the car with a controllable system. Due to its high tensile strength and hardness, the tungsten alloy can be used in limited spaces, such as racing cars. The tungsten heavy alloy products greatly reduces the physical size of the components, which makes it easier to control weight distribution and increases the sensitivity of the control mechanism.

Tungsten alloys are non-toxic and environmentally friendly in weight, which replaced toxic and environmentally harmful products. Tungsten alloys are lighter than conventional materials, which are twice of the weight of lead and can remain in shape for a long time. Due to the high density of the tungsten alloy, it is often used as a tungsten heavy alloy counterweight and used in racing to optimize the performance of the car and to better balance and control the running of the car. Tungsten alloys can also be used to produce other parts of fishing gear, such as the linear cutting of tungsten alloys. The tungsten alloy is used for crankshaft weight, while the tungsten alloy crankshaft design can offset the weight of the rod and the piston, and the key is that the crankshaft must balance to combine the customized piston and piston rod.
