Lead's popularity is mainly due to its outstanding physical properties: high density, ease of casting and fabrication, and malleability.

Tungsten is a much suitable material for lead replacement applications. It has an even higher density than lead. However, due to its extremely high melting temperature, molding tungsten into a shape is complex and costly. Still, tungsten can be formed into solids through a process called sintering. This is where tungsten and other metal powders are pressed into shape and bound in a special furnace.

Another approach to using tungsten powder as a lead replacement is currently used by many companies that manufacture non-toxic thermoplastic composite materials. These materials are mostly used for injection molding processes contain a variety of polymers and fillers.

Drivers consistently report they can sense differences in how a car handles on the track if the weight on a given wheel varies only by a couple of pounds. Fine tuning a car to a given track is a very cumbersome and time consuming ordeal with conventional lead plate weights. WHA balance weight offers up to 50% more weight in a given volume, with the added advantages of direct attachment via threaded holes or thru-bolting and the freedom from deformation. The high density of WHAs permit weights to be placed in the lower half of NASCAR weight adjustment tubes, effectively lowering the overall center of gravity for improved handling. Tungsten product has a specialized line of racing weights for these applications.
 
Tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) balance weight of racing car is now becoming the most popular material for ballast, due to its main advantages as follows:

Highest density
Adding WHA balance weight into the whole framework of a racing car is helpful to optimize the performance of the racing car during the racing progress, which contributes to the better control of the car's movement.

High tensile strength and good creep resistance
Tungsten has high tensile strength and good creep resistance with a high mass/size ratio, so it will be the ideal to work in a restricted space. Its high density also gives enhanced sensitivity by increasing the control of load distribution.

Machined Easily
WHA is also easily machineable which gives designers greater flexibility in deciding on the final shape of components and offer designers several advantages over conventional balance materials e.g. lead or steel.

Many people think tungsten and titanium are very similar metals, but in reality they are actually very different.  If you were to hold a tungsten ring and a titanium ring in your hands, the first thing you would notice is the weight.  Titanium ring is very light weight.  It feels as if the ring were made of plastic, many people do not believe they are holding a metal object.  Tungsten, on the other hand, is a very dense metal.  It feels as if you are holding a gold ring.  Many people prefer the weight and heft of tungsten ring because they feel that their wedding ring should be something strong and heavy feeling.  

After all, one of the reasons people cherish platinum is because it also has a heavy weight.  A difference between the metals that is not noticeable immediately is that tungsten is very hard, so it is very difficult for a tungsten ring to get scratched.  In fact it is the hardest metal on earth, only non-metals such as diamonds are harder than tungsten.  Titanium is about 4 times less hard than tungsten.  It is quite easy to scratch a titanium ring.  One drawback of tungsten being so hard, is the metal does not bend.  If enough force is applied the ring can crack or break, whereas titanium ring will bend out of shape.

Tungsten alloy fishing weights are an ideal, environment-friendly alternative to lead weights, which are toxic and increasingly being labeled an environmental hazard. Tungsten alloy fishing weights are harder than steel and extremely dense, tungsten being on average 30 percent smaller than its lead counterpart. Tungsten alloy fishng weights are smaller than conventional weights, create twice the sound of lead weights and maintain their shape for longer. Tungsten is also used in the production of other fishing applications, such as tungsten-carbide line cutters and tungsten powder coating for fishing lines.
 
A fishing weight is a weight used to force a lure or bait to increase its rate of sink, anchoring ability, and/or casting distance. Fishing weights may be as small as 1/32 of an ounce for applications in shallow water, even smaller for fly fishing applications, or as large as several pounds or considerably more for deep sea fishing. They are formed into nearly innumerable shapes for diverse fishing applications. Environmental concerns surround the usage of most fishing sinker materials.

A jig is a type of fishing lure that usually consisting of a lead sinker with a hook molded into it and usually covered by a soft body to attract fish. However, recently, tungsten alloy fishing weights is becoming more and more popular among angles because it has the features of high density, small volume, and environmental friendly, and has been taking place of the lead sinker. Jigs are intended to create a jerky, vertical motion, as opposed to spinnerbaits which move through the water horizontally. The jig is very versatile and can be used in both salt water as well as fresh water. Many species are attracted to the lure which has made it popular amongst anglers for years.
 
The fishing weight is made by rare metal - Tungsten, it is an ideal substitute of the lead fishing sinker. It's strong adhesive, semi-solid state, soft for a long term. Tungsten Heavy Alloys concentrate maximum weight in the smallest possible space. They are more often to be used as counterweight in sporting field, such as fishing sinkers, golf weights, etc.
 
Advantages for tungsten alloy fishing weights
 *Small body
*High density
*Nuisance free
*Strong wind resistance
*International environment protection standard
