Tungsten Heavy Alloy Features

• High density: ~ 18.8 g/cm³
• High strength: tensile strength of 700-1000Mpa
• Shielding ray ability: In the same thickness conditions, tungsten alloy ray shielding ability is more than 1.7 times that of lead. When the ray is stronger, the difference between the two shielding ray abilities is more and more obvious.
• Large thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of tungsten alloy is 5 times that of mold steel.
• Small coefficient of thermal expansion: 4 ~ 6 × 10^-6 / ℃, only iron or steel 1/2-1/3
• Good plasticity, workability, and weldability
• Compared with the toxicity of lead, tungsten alloy material has environmentally friendly characteristics. The use of tungsten alloy shielding parts in the manufacture of radiation detectors does not jeopardize human safety.
• Compared with tungsten-nickel-copper alloy, tungsten-nickel-iron alloy has a certain ferromagnetism, and its mechanical properties and processing performance are better than tungsten-nickel-copper alloy.

Tungsten Heavy Alloy Production Process

• Mixing: The tungsten powder is mixed with other metals in the desired proportions.
• Pressing: The mixed powder is pressed into the desired preliminary shape, such as cylinders, blocks, etc.
• Sinterización: The pressed parts are sintered at high temperatures, forming a dense solid material.
• Recocido: The sintered products undergo an annealing process to remove internal stresses and improve toughness and ductility.
• Machining: Precision machining processes, such as turning, milling, and grinding, are applied to the sintered parts to achieve final dimensions and shapes.
• Tratamiento térmico: The alloy undergoes additional heat treatment to optimize properties such as hardness, strength, or other physical characteristics.
• Tratamiento de superficies: If required, surface treatments (such as coating, passivation, etc.) are applied to enhance corrosion resistance, hardness, or other properties.
