Tungsten-nickel-iron alloy occupies an important position in the aerospace field due to its characteristics such as high density, excellent mechanical properties, good thermal stability and radiation resistance, providing key material support for the stable operation of various spacecraft and aviation equipment.
In terms of spacecraft, this alloy is often used to manufacture counterweight components. During launch and on-orbit operation, spacecraft need precise weight balance to maintain a stable flight attitude. The high-density characteristic of tungsten-nickel-iron alloy enables it to provide sufficient weight in a small volume, which can be flexibly installed in different parts of the spacecraft, such as the attitude control system of satellites and the docking mechanism of space stations. By adjusting the counterweight, the center of gravity of the spacecraft is ensured to be in an ideal position, avoiding abnormal flight attitudes caused by center of gravity deviation.
In the field of aero-engines, tungsten-nickel-iron alloy can be used to make some high-temperature resistant components. Aero-engines operate at extremely high internal temperatures and bear huge centrifugal force and vibration, which have strict requirements on the high-temperature resistance and mechanical properties of materials. The alloy can maintain high strength and stability at high temperatures, and can be used to manufacture counterweights for turbine disks and blade tenons of engines, helping to balance the center of gravity of the engine rotor, reduce vibration, and improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the engine.
In inertial navigation systems, similar to the military field, tungsten-nickel-iron alloy is also the core material for manufacturing high-precision gyro rotors. In the navigation systems of aircraft (such as airplanes and space shuttles), the stability of the gyro rotor directly affects the navigation accuracy. The high density of the alloy can ensure that the rotor has a large moment of inertia when rotating at high speed, making it not easy to be disturbed by the outside world, while the low thermal expansion coefficient ensures that the rotor size is stable in the aerospace environment with drastic temperature changes, thus providing an accurate attitude reference for the navigation system.
In addition, tungsten-nickel-iron alloy also plays an important role in the radiation protection of spacecraft. There are a large number of cosmic rays and high-energy particles in space, which will cause radiation hazards to the internal instruments and astronauts of the spacecraft. Using the high density and high atomic number characteristics of the alloy, radiation shielding layers can be made to effectively absorb and block these harmful rays, creating a safe environment inside the spacecraft. At the same time, in aerospace detection equipment, such as some precision instruments of deep-space probes, the alloy is also used as structural support and protective components to cope with extreme space environments.
