The density of tungsten-nickel-iron alloy, typically ranging from 17.0 to 18.5 g/cm³, is a critical factor influencing its application scenarios. This high-density characteristic profoundly impacts the alloy’s use across functional realization, structural design, and scenario adaptability.

Chrome plating on tungsten alloy surfaces can greatly enhance corrosion resistance. This is a common surface engineering technique used to improve durability and decorative appearance.

1. Basic Principle of Chrome Plating

Chrome plating—primarily referring to hard chrome plating—is an electrochemical process that deposits a dense chromium (Cr) layer on the surface of a metal. This chromium layer features:

• High hardness (HV800~HV1000)
• Excellent wear resistance and low friction coefficient
• Good chemical stability and oxidation resistance
  

Tungsten-nickel-iron alloy is a high-density alloy with tungsten as the base (typically 80%–98% tungsten content), incorporating nickel, iron, and other elements. It boasts a range of unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, finding wide use in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial manufacturing.

High-density tungsten alloy, a functional material with tungsten as its base (85%–99%) combined with metals like nickel, iron, and copper through powder metallurgy sintering, boasts a density of 16–18.5 g/cm³ along with high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. In the automotive field, its core advantages as a counterweight block include precise weight adjustment in a small volume, minimizing space usage; strong chemical stability to withstand the high temperatures and humidity of engine compartments; and eco-friendliness, aligning with global automotive industry green standards.
