Reasons for Choosing Tungsten Heavy Alloy as Counterweight

Tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) balance weight of racing car is now becoming the most popular material for ballast, due to its main advantages as follows:

Highest density
Adding WHA balance weight into the whole framework of a racing car is helpful to optimize the performance of the racing car during the racing progress, which contributes to the better control of the car's movement.

High tensile strength and good creep resistance
Tungsten has high tensile strength and good creep resistance with a high mass/size ratio, so it will be the ideal to work in a restricted space. Its high density also gives enhanced sensitivity by increasing the control of load distribution.

Machined Easily
WHA is also easily machineable which gives designers greater flexibility in deciding on the final shape of components and offer designers several advantages over conventional balance materials e.g. lead or steel.
