How Were Tungsten Alloy Discs Initially Developed and Applied?

The development of tungsten alloy discs began in the early 20th century when scientists recognized tungsten’s high melting point and density as offering significant potential. Initially, tungsten alloys were used in military applications, such as armor-piercing projectile cores, due to their high density and hardness, enhancing penetration capabilities. By the mid-20th century, advancements in powder metallurgy enabled the production of tungsten alloy discs, with nickel and iron additions improving tungsten’s brittleness, making it suitable for disc-shaped components. Initial applications focused on defense and aerospace, such as aircraft counterweights and missile guidance components. Their high density also made them effective for medical radiation shielding, protecting equipment and personnel. Early development faced challenges like high costs and processing difficulties, but optimizing alloy compositions and production processes improved performance, expanding applications to civilian sectors like electronics and energy, laying a solid foundation for subsequent technological advancements.
