Tungsten alloy materials need to be heated by 600~800℃ before swaging . The conventional swaging deformation amount ranges from 10% to 15%. The maximum deformation generally is not more than by 25%~30%. Otherwise, tungsten alloy materials cause breakage easily. Tungsten alloy materials need relief annealing after being forged. The rang of annealing temperature is from 500℃ to 1100℃. Usually, heating, swaging and annealing are treated as a cycle.

The swaging working hardening tungsten alloy materials have the phenomenon of inhomogeneous mechanical property. The intensity, elongation and hardness of core differs form the intensity, elongation and hardness of surface quite. The reason is that metal begins to deform and extent is increasing gradually from coning area to sizing area. In sizing area, the metal only endures small deformation. The deforming extent of metal reach maximum in coning area and transition section of sizing area. For that, the deforming speed difference of tungsten alloy materials increases from the entrance to exist of coning area. That results in additional flexion deformity on surface of metal.

Tungsten's primary application for over 100 years has been as the tungsten filament in incandescent light bulbs. Doped with small amounts of potassium-aluminum silicate, tungsten powder is sintered at high temperature to produce tungsten filament that is in the center of light bulbs that light millions of homes around the world.

Due to tungsten's ability to keep its shape at high temperatures, tungsten filament is now also used in a variety of household applications, including lamps, floodlights, heating elements in electrical furnaces, microwave ovens, x-ray tubes and cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) in computer monitors and television sets. The metal's tolerance to intense heat also makes it ideal for thermocouples and electrical contacts in electric arc furnaces and welding equipment. Applications that require a concentrated mass, or weight, such as counterweights, fishing sinkers and darts often use tungsten because of its density.

To reduce the deformation of tungsten alloy EFP in recycle medium as far as possible, recycle medium generally adopts polyfoam, serrago, cotton yarn, mixture of serrago and sand or woods, etc. According to the difference of shape, speed, materials or others of tungsten alloy EFP, confirm the distance of recycling and use the combination of different recycle medium thickness.

The soft recovery tungsten alloy EFP, on one hand, can prove accuracy of design and provide basis for the calculation of penetration. On the other hand, it can be used for the design and manufacturing mould of blowdown wind tunnel for the research of aerodynamic force. It can also express the properties of tungsten alloy warhead.

Electrical contacts are subjected to extreme mechanical and thermal stresses during operation. For fractions of a second, temperatures rise to several thousand degrees as a result of the arcing. Only Tungsten copper materials will stand these high temperature & aberration.

Tungsten copper materials have good resistance to arc erosion, mechanical wear, contact welding and good conductivity. They are usually selected for oil, gas, air or vacuum, devices. The contact surfaces will oxidize when switched in air. These press-sinter-infiltrate materials should only be considered for arcing surfaces in air when used as arcing tips, arc plates and arc runners. When switching with moderate contact arcing, the Tungsten Copper with a high copper content may give the lowest erosion. As arcing severity increases, the Tungsten copper with the higher refractory content withstand arc erosion better. Tungsten coppers are also used as arcing edges of selector switchblades in transformer tap changers.
