The composites composed of refractory metals and carbides are high temperature materials with excellent comprehensive properties. They make use of the complementary properties of materials to achieve comprehensive optimization. Tungsten-based refractory carbide composites are one of them. This kind of material has good thermal, chemical and mechanical compatibility, ideal high temperature strength and toughness, thermal shock resistance, ablation resistance and other excellent characteristics.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered as one of the most promising clean energy sources because of its high energy efficiency and non-pollution. PEMFC directly converts the chemical energy of fuel and oxidant (O2) into electric energy, which is a new type of power generation device.

At present, there are three or forty kinds of Polyoxometalates with anti-tumor activity, most of which are Heteropolytungstates or tungsten molybdate, and they are water-soluble polymers. Some scientists believe that the doping of scheelite with europium has both fluorescence effect and anti-tumor activity. Europium doped nano-scheelite is a kind of anti-tumor nano-material, which is composed mainly of oligomeric scheelite and Europium tungstate. It is soluble in DMSO (dimethylalumina) and becomes a sol-state anti-tumor drug.

The composition of tungsten waste is complex, difficult to extract and complicated to remove. This kind of APT is manufactured by traditional method with long technological process, narrow adaptability of raw materials, large investment in equipment, unstable products and poor economic benefits. In recent years, the preparation of ammonium paratungstate from tungsten waste has been explored and some results have been achieved.

There has always been a low (poor) grade tungsten-tin associated ore in the tungsten-tin production industry, which is particularly common in Yunnan. Because the material and chemical properties of the two metal compounds are similar, the separation of the two metals in the industrial production process has always been a difficult problem that puzzles the industrial production technology. The traditional production method has been characterized by high pollution and high energy consumption, which makes it difficult to conform to the national industrial policy.

Electrical contacts are the key components of switchgear, which bear the function of conducting current. Their performance directly affects the reliability and service life of switchgear. Therefore, switchgear requires electrical contacts to have good conductivity and thermal conductivity, low contact resistance and temperature rise, high resistance to fusion welding and electrical erosion.

Tungsten oxide nanowires are a kind of magical one-dimensional material, which can also be used to absorb radar electromagnetic wave, such as stealth fighter coatings, strategic missile concealment and so on.

Tungsten oxide has unique physical properties such as photochromism, electrochromism, thermochromism and gas sensitivity. Its color change can be achieved by changing irradiation wavelength, temperature or applied voltage. Therefore, tungsten oxide can be used in many fields, such as sensors, electronic devices and so on. The nature of Yue Yue, its development and research has become a hotspot all over the world.

With the development of high technology, the requirement for pure tungsten and its alloy materials is higher and higher. Whether tungsten wire, plate, foil, or other alloy materials based on tungsten (such as tungsten-copper electrical alloy, Tungsten-Nickel-Iron high specific gravity alloy, etc.) are required to have uniform structure, fine grain size and good plasticity. It also promotes the quality requirement of original tungsten powder. In the application, the particle size of advanced nano tungsten powder determines the powder metallurgy process and material properties of tungsten products. Nano-scale ultra-fine tungsten powder is becoming popular.

Tungsten carbide coating by plasma spraying is mainly used for anti-sliding friction, vibration friction, wear resistance and corrosion protection of aero-engines below 500 ℃. It has been widely used in aero-engines at home and abroad.
