Tungsten alloy material
Tungsten Heavy Alloy(WNiFe, WNiCu)
Tungsten alloy generally are refractory metal, which have two-phase composites consisting of W-Ni-Fe or W-Ni-Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe, some tungsten alloy is added Co, Mo, Cr, etc. It could be made as various shapes, such as rod, cube, block, brick, ring, etc.
Most of the major applications for tungsten alloys are based on its very high density where it is used to control or distribute weight in some way. Tungsten is up to 65% denser than lead and 130% denser than steel. Radiation shielding is a second common application area. Tungsten alloys generally have high strength and good creep resistance however at low temperatures ductility is poor making it unsuitable for some applications. Corrosion resistance and magnetic properties can also be factors in alloy selection.
Usually, Tungsten alloy could be manufactured as the parts of military defense, radiation shielding, extrusion die, some counterweights, such as yacht counterweights, vehicle counterweights, airplane counterweights, helicopter counterweights, boat counterweights, tank counterweights, etc.

The Advantage of Tungsten Alloy
- Able to absorb the rays: The ability is so strong that it’s about 30-40% higher than lead;
- High Thermal conductivity coefficient: 5 times that of die steel;
- Low Thermal expansion coefficient: Only 1/2-1/3 of that of iron or steel;
- With good weld-ability and process-ability.
The Applications of Tungsten Alloy
- Radiation shield, collimator, nuclear shielding, beamstop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multi leaf collimator;
