The era of tungsten came along in 1970. Barry Twomlow had won the World Championship the previous year with a set of brass darts. Some companies realized the importance of retaining the weight of the darts and at the same time reducing the darts in volume to allow greater visual sight of the highest scoring parts of the dart board.

Tungsten is three times the density of brass. The higher density makes it possible to make a slimmer dart, which creates less air resistance when throwing, and is also easier to group together in a small space like the doubles and trebles. The desired weight can therefore be achieved, without adding bulk. Players became to accept without question that Tungsten darts is more suitable.

  Tungsten is a silvery white metal, melting point up to 3400 ℃; great hardness of tungsten, high-density, high temperature strength. Tungsten and tungsten carbide mainly used in the production of iron. Tungsten and chromium, molybdenum, cobalt and other components for the production of heat-resistant alloy cutting tools, metal surface hardening material, lit pull blades. Tungsten, tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, refractory alloy composition. Tungsten, copper and silver alloys for the production of tungsten light bulbs, components and arc welding electrode tube. Some of the compounds can be used tungsten fluorescent agents, pigments, dyes and the like. Tungsten is widely used in oil and gas, mining, electronics, metalworking, machinery, heavy manufacturing, these sectors make use of tungsten 85% of the total, the other is applied to nuclear and aerospace industries. With economic development, technological advances, China tungsten applications are gradually expanding, increasing product variety, great to meet the needs of the national economy and national defense construction.

  Carbide is an inorganic compound which contains equal numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms. It may also be colloquially referred to as "carbide." In its most basic form of a gray powder, but can be press-formed into various shapes, for industrial machinery, tools, abrasives, even as jewelry. Carbide, also belong to heavy metals, the bending strength is more good than any other, including iron and steel, including metal or alloys. Because of its high resistance to abrasion, wear and tear is to produce a variety of utensils ideal choice. Generally, carbide parts mainly for the metal processing industry, which stresses a strong tool. However, the high bending strength and wear resistance of cemented carbide also features the use of many non-metallic solution provides a cost effective, such as: crushing, grinding stones. Carbide is mainly used for wear demanding applications, such as: drilling, milling, trenching and cutting.

   Carbide Parts Features: high hardness (86 ~ 93HRA, equivalent to 69 ~ 81HRC); hot hardness (up to 900 ~ 1000 ℃, keeping 60HRC); wear resistance. Such as: 4 to 7 times higher than the carbide parts high-speed steel cutting tools, tool life of 5 to 80 times higher. Manufacture of molds, gauges, life expectancy of 20 to 150 times higher than the alloy tool steel. 50HRC be about cutting hard materials. But brittle carbide parts, cutting can not be performed, a complicated shape is difficult to produce a solid tool, often made of blades of different shapes, or a die cutter body using welding, bonding, mechanical clamping, in particular a method for installing such to use.

   Carbide tools are widely used in machinery and engineering industries. Our company offers a variety of high-quality, long performance, life cycle carbide cutting tools such as carbide inserts, indexable inserts, rotary burrs, carbide saw blades, carbide cutters, etc., but also can produce different types of carbide cutting tools according to customers' requirements or drawings.
 

 Carbide Rods in grades YG10X mostly used in drill bits, end mills, reamers. YG6X for non-ferrous precision cutting. Ultrafine grain size YG8X used in the processing of glass, steel, titanium, hardened steel, etc.

  Carbide material in one of the many, because the shape of a rectangular plate (or box) named, also known as carbide strip plate. Carbide long mainly by WC WC and Co cobalt powder metallurgy method by using a mix of flour, milling, pressing, sintering, the main component of the alloy WC and Co, different uses of WC carbide strip ingredients and Co are not consistent, the use of a very broad range.

   Carbide has excellent long been rigid, high hardness, wear resistance, good high elastic modulus, high compressive strength, chemical stability (acid, alkali, high temperature oxidation), low impact toughness, coefficient of expansion low thermal conductivity of iron and its alloys with similar characteristics. Processing of solid wood, MDF, gray cast iron, non-ferrous materials, chilled cast iron, hardened steel, PCB, mainly used in the production of brake material. Specific material should be used to select the appropriate long carbide according to purpose.

   Commonly known as tungsten carbide ball ball refers to material carbide beads, ball. Carbide ball / tungsten ball high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, anti-bending, harsh environments, can replace all the steel ball products. Tungsten balls with high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, anti-bending characteristics, can replace all the steel ball products. Tungsten ball extremely broad scope, such as: precision bearings, instruments, meters, pens, spraying machines, pumps, machinery parts, valve seals, brake pump, squeeze hole punch, oil, hydrochloric acid, laboratory, hardness measuring instrument, fishing gear , weight, decoration, finishing, etc. high-end industries.

The sport of darts remains an incredibly popular game, very easy to play when out or at home. For the uninitiated, however, there are lots of options when it comes to selecting the right kind of equipment. Darts themselves are made with a variety of materials, weights and tips, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Weight of the dart's barrel

In order to fly effectively, darts need a certain amount of weight behind them. The main part of the dart, the barrel, is usually made with metal alloy. Steel and tungsten are both used, as are brass and silver/nickel alloys. The advantage of tungsten over all other types is its density, meaning the dart can be quite weighty while still being slim. This is useful if you throw your darts in close groupings to one another on the board. Fatter shafts will tend to bounce off of other darts and may miss their intended target or even bounce off the board.

The tip of the dart
When it comes to selecting a tip for your darts, the board you play on is the critical factor. The tip of the dart is either made from steel or a soft tip. The steel is weighty enough to stay in the bed of the traditional bristle dartboard. Soft tips are essential for use on the electronic dartboards.

Costs
The cost of your darts may influence your choice. Brass and steel barrels tend to be cheaper, so if you are buying a set for the first time to see whether you enjoy the game, you might wish to try these before committing to the more expensive tungsten darts, which can sometimes be 2-3 times as expensive.

What professionals use
Although the original question asked whether steel darts were better than tungsten, the answer is probably that a combination is best. Professional darts players will typically use tungsten barrels and steel tips.

Wooden Dart
Wooden darts don't be seen these around very often. They are made of lightweight wood shaft with turkey feather flights (no parts to replace).

Brass Dart
Brass is the lightest of the three metallic darts listed here. It is a soft alloy (copper & zinc) which makes it easy to for manufacturers to shape and work with.

Nickel-Silver Darts
Nickel-silver is yet another light dart that is an alloy consisting of nickel, copper and zinc. Like brass, it is easy for manufacturers to shape and work with.

Tungsten Darts
Tungsten, unlike brass and nickel-silver, is a very heavy and dense metal. It is usually mixed with nickel so you will see on a package something like 80-20 (80% tungsten/20% nickel). It is harder to work with but will last longer than the other two (especially the knurling). On average, a 20 gram tungsten dart will be half the size of a 20 gram brass dart which will allow for tighter groupings on the board. This is the reason most of the really good throwers use tungsten darts.
