What Are Characteristics of Tungsten Alloy?

Tungsten alloy is an alloy material composed of tungsten and other metal or non-metal elements. Its characteristics mainly include the following aspects:

  1. High density

Tungsten alloys have high density, usually higher than pure tungsten. This is due to the addition of other metals or non-metallic elements to tungsten alloys that increase their density. The high density makes tungsten alloy have high strength and stiffness, and can withstand greater pressure and impact.

  1. Excellent thermal conductivity

Tungsten alloy has excellent thermal conductivity and can effectively transfer heat. Its thermal conductivity is better than traditional metal materials, so it is widely used in electronics, aerospace and other fields. Good thermal conductivity helps reduce the temperature of electronic equipment and improves its operational stability and reliability.

  1. Excellent mechanical properties

Tungsten alloy has mechanical properties such as high strength, high hardness, excellent wear resistance and toughness. These properties enable superior performance in environments withstanding high loads and impacts. Tungsten alloys are widely used in the manufacture of mechanical components that can withstand heavy loads and impacts, such as high-speed cutting tools, support structures for heavy machine tools, etc.

  1. Good antioxidant properties

Tungsten alloy is not easily oxidized in high temperature environments and maintains good stability. Compared with other metal materials, tungsten alloy has stronger oxidation resistance and can maintain the stability of its structure and performance in high temperature environments for a long time. This characteristic gives tungsten alloy advantages in applications in aerospace, military and other fields, and can meet reliability requirements in harsh environments.

  1. Excellent electromagnetic shielding performance

Tungsten alloy has good electromagnetic shielding properties and can effectively shield electromagnetic interference (EMI) and static electricity. This characteristic makes tungsten alloys of great significance in certain application fields that are sensitive to electromagnetic interference, such as medical treatment, aerospace, etc. By absorbing and reflecting electromagnetic waves, tungsten alloys protect surrounding electronic equipment and people.

  1. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly

The main components of tungsten alloy are tungsten and other non-toxic and environmentally friendly metal or non-metal elements. Compared with other metal materials, tungsten alloy is harmless to the environment and human body, and is conducive to green production and sustainable development. During the manufacturing and use process, tungsten alloy does not produce harmful substances and meets modern environmental protection and health requirements.

  1. Good processing performance

Tungsten alloy has good processing properties and can be used for turning, milling, drilling and other processing operations, making it easy to manufacture parts of various shapes and sizes. This feature makes tungsten alloy less difficult and less expensive to manufacture, which is conducive to mass production. Good processing properties also enable tungsten alloys to meet the design requirements of various complex shapes and structures.

  1. Good corrosion resistance

Tungsten alloy has good corrosion resistance and can resist erosion by a variety of chemical substances. In a corrosive environment, a dense oxide film can be formed on the surface of tungsten alloy to prevent further corrosion. This characteristic makes tungsten alloy widely used in chemical industry, marine engineering and other fields.

  1. High thermal expansion coefficient

Compared with some metal materials, tungsten alloys have a higher thermal expansion coefficient. This means that the size of tungsten alloy changes greatly when the temperature changes. This feature needs to be considered during design to avoid stress concentrations and fatigue failures caused by thermal expansion. However, for some application fields that need to take advantage of its thermal expansion properties, such as precision instruments, optical devices, etc., the high thermal expansion coefficient of tungsten alloy has become an advantage.

To sum up, tungsten alloy has high density, excellent thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, good oxidation resistance, excellent electromagnetic shielding performance, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, good processing performance, good corrosion resistance and high thermal expansion. coefficients and other characteristics. These characteristics make tungsten alloy widely used in many fields and become an engineering material of important value.
