Tungsten has the advantages of high melting point, high strength, high hardness and high wear resistance. In addition, it has low thermal expansion coefficient, good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, and good conductivity and thermal conductivity. Therefore, tungsten has been widely used in cutting-edge scientific fields, national defense industry and civil industry.

Spherical tungsten powder is mainly used in thermal spraying, filter materials, cathode and porous materials because of its good sphericity and fluidity and high compacting density. At present, the demand for high quality spherical tungsten powder is increasing day by day. In the field of thermal spraying, spherical tungsten powder is more uniform and compact because of its good fluidity and high compacting density.

Spherical tungsten carbide powder has high hardness, high wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high chemical stability. It has wide potential application value in fuel cell anode, cathode catalyst material, gas sensor, petroleum catalyst and photocatalyst material.

At present, waste tungsten is recycled by re-grinding inserts. But beyond a certain point, it is impossible to grind them again and the purity can not be improved. Therefore, further process is usually needed to complete the recovery of tungsten waste.

Wolframite has a large proportion and is brittle. Slime is easily produced in the process of mining and dressing. In the early stage, shaking bed and centrifugal gravity separation are mainly used to recover wolframite. Shaking bed surface zoning is obvious and easy to operate, but the unit area processing capacity is small, the recovery rate is low when treating fine mud, and metal is easily lost from fine mud. Although centrifugal concentrator has large processing capacity and high recovery efficiency for fine mineral particles, its water consumption is large, and it is difficult to achieve ideal indicators in actual industrial production.

Carbon fiber is known as a new inorganic material. It has a series of excellent properties, such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, radiation resistance, conductivity, heat transfer, shock absorption, noise reduction and so on. As a typical high performance fiber, carbon fiber is widely used as a reinforcing fiber of advanced resin matrix composites. At present, its application field is mainly in Aeronautics and aeronautics, mainly because it can greatly reduce the weight of structural prefabrication and further improve the technical performance.

There are a large number of X, gamma rays and neutrons in the radiation field environment of nuclear power plants and nuclear power plants. In order to ensure absolute safety, these X, gamma rays and neutrons need high-density radiation shielding materials. At present, the commonly used materials are lead-boron polyethylene, boron-containing polypropylene, cadmium plate, boron steel, tungsten-based heavy alloy, boron carbide and aluminium-based boron carbide. The above materials are only lead-boron polyethylene. Material can shield x, gamma rays and neutrons at the same time. Other materials can only shield one of the x, gamma rays or neutrons.

Photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution technology is a new energy technology. It combines photoelectric conversion process with hydrogen evolution process. Solar energy can be converted into electric energy. It can be further used to prepare hydrogen from electrolytic water by hydrogen evolution catalyst. It has great development potential.

In the field of aero-engines in China, tungsten carbide has good impact resistance, toughness and bond with the substrate, and has high density. It has been used as a fan blade damping boss and compressor blade damping boss on the aero engine. Crown blade canopy damping surface and turbine blade canopy damping surface have been successfully applied. For example, the Russian-made AF-31 series engine equipped with Su-27, J-10, J-11 or China's WS Series engine.

Jewelry have always been absolutely important items in people's aesthetic activities. A right jewellery shines a beautiful lady. Among jewelry materials, tungsten alloys is new alloy being used to produce jewelry.
