The Advantages of Tungsten Darts

Tungsten is an extremely dense metal, heavier than lead for the same size item. Tungsten darts are considerably more dense than brass or nickel/silver darts.

Higher density materials result in darts with smaller diameter, better "feel", and tighter possible groups on the dartboard. Tungsten is also very durable, so the machined grip will not wear down as rapidly as on brass or nickel/silver darts.

Tungsten is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart resists wear and the grip will last much longer. On softer metal darts, the grooves and rough knurling may wear down fairly quickly from skin acid, friction, and hitting other darts.

The billets that tungsten darts are made from consist of a variety of metals, including tungsten. To manufacture the blanks for machining tungsten darts, tungsten powder and other metals are blended and bonded by heat and pressure, resulting in a "sintered" material that we refer to as nickel-tungsten (or copper-tungsten, etc.) Common materials include tungsten, nickel, copper, and iron. The exact mix of materials varies considerably from one company to another, based on their requirements for density, cost, and ease of machining.

Tungsten darts cost more for several reasons: The metal is expensive, and since it is very dense, tungsten requires more effort to fabricate into darts.
