How Tungsten Heavy Alloy is Used

The higher density tungsten heavy alloy has been used in medical instruments (e.g. X-ray machines, gamma-ray machines) as widely, the most important of tungsten alloy in medical is used as anti-radiation materials, such as tungsten alloy resource holder, tungsten alloy radiation shielding for uranium, depleted uranium (DU) protection shields. Tungsten alloy shielding for X-ray and gamma-ray, After the issue of the Japanese Uranium Powder Station, the newest tungsten alloy products for anti radiation are the materials of something as "Tungsten Plastic" for the application of tungsten protection coats of Uranium Powder Station.

Tungsten Putty is another new application for the application of weighting such as tungsten fishing sinker, racing car's weight, such as and tungsten putty for pinewood derby cars. Tungsten putty is a material made from tungsten powder and a polymer binder, the minimum density of tungsten putty is 10g/cm3.Tungsten Putty is non-hardening and easy to mold and shape to any form, so that you can have any design you want, and is easy to apply and will not dry out even after several weeks exposed to air and sunlight. The high hardness is another important property of tungsten metal. Tungsten carbide is the major usage of tungsten, tungsten carbide always called the teeth of modern industry. Tungsten carbide has another name as cemented carbide or tungsten cemented carbide, There are so many types of tungsten carbide, the most popular like tungsten carbide cutting tools, tungsten carbide drilling tools, tungsten carbide sealing and tungsten carbide milling tools, the main forms of tungsten carbide are tungsten carbide rods, tungsten carbide tips, tungsten carbide bar, tungsten carbide inserts, tungsten carbide plates, tungsten carbide seals, tungsten carbide buttons, tungsten carbide balls, tungsten carbide pellets and tungsten carbide dies.

Tungsten copper (WCu) alloy is a pseudo-alloy of tungsten and copper, as they are not mutually soluble, the material is composed of distinct particles of one metal dispersed in a matrix of the other one. The microstructure of tungsten copper is therefore rather a metal matrix composite than a true alloy. Tungsten copper combines the properties of both metals that is heat-resistant, ablation-resistant, highly thermally and electrically conductive, and easy to machine. Then tungsten copper is used when it needs a high heat resistance, low thermal expansion and high electrical or thermal conductivity. Tungsten copper is used to make engines and electrical devices. Also, tungsten copper is used in aviation, electrodes, heat sinks, rocket parts and electrical contacts which is used to make contacts for both high and low voltage electrical devices. The manufacturing process of tungsten copper is to press and sinter tungsten or tungsten carbide at high temperature, infiltrate with copper and machine tungsten copper to expected forms.
