3.2 mm Tungsten Alloy Cube Class 3, W - Ni - Fe used for aircraft balance weights
Description:
Tungsten heavy alloys which can also be called high gravity alloys are refractory metals, it is a kind of alloy using tungsten as matrix and components nickel, iron, copper and other alloying elements. Basically there are two series, W-Ni-Fe and W-Ni-Cu, sometimes even W-Ni-Cu-Fe. They are produced by powder metal and sintering processes.Tungsten is the world's 4th heaviest metal.Tungsten heavy alloy contains mainly tungsten ranging from 80wt% to 98wt%, and its density can reach 15.8~18.5g/cm3. Nickel, iron, copper serve as binder between tungsten grains and make the material ductile and more machinable. Compared to W-Ni-Cu, W-Ni-Fe possesses a better mechanical property, being widely used in national defense industry.
Tungsten heavy alloys have many special properties such as high density (15.8-18.5g/cm3), high melting point, wear resistance, high tensile strength, good elongation capacity, low vapor pressure, excellent thermal stability and high radiation absorption capacity, etc., so due to these advantages they are widely used in various fields including the military, sports, aerospace, aviation, oil drilling, electrical instrumentation and medical industries.
