Description
Tungsten heavy alloy generally is refractory metal, which have two-phase composites consisting of W-Ni- Fe or W-Ni- Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe. They are materials mainly with over 85% tungsten and low amounts of chemical elements, such as Ni、Fe 、Cu、Co、Mo、Cr, etc. Achemetal Furance Co., Ltd produces tungsten heavy alloys with density ranges from 16.8g/cm3 to 18.75g/cm3.
Applications
1. It can be widely used as balancing weights and high temperature moulds.
2. They can also be used as protection shields for high-energy rays.
3. Electro-heat upsetting anvil block and the core of armour piercing shell also adopt tungsten heavy alloy as material.
4. They are also offered as machinable blanks or precision machined parts according to customers’ requirements.
5. Those heavy alloys also can be used for producing aircraft control surfaces, helicopter rotor systems, engine components, ship ballasts, golf club weights, boring bars and down hole logging-sinker bars, etc.
6. They can be produced as the materials for making fire arms and ordnance.
Features
1. Tungsten heavy alloy has a very high density between 16.8g/cm3 to 18.75g/cm3, which is twice as much as of steel and more than 50% heavier than lead.
2. It is of low thermal expansion coefficient, high strength and high modulus of elasticity.
3. It has high absorption capacity of high-energy rays.
4. The tungsten heavy alloys from Luoyang Ache metal co., Ltd comply with Standard ASTM B 777-99.
