High density tungsten alloy is vividly called the three tenors alloy, namely: high density, high strength, high hardness alloy, thus it is widely used in aerospace, national defense and civil.
The application of tungsten alloy counterweight in plane
1. The flight control system
Tungsten alloy counterweight is typically used for optimization of flight control performance, such as rudder, elevator and aileron, which has a bigger superiority than other traditional materials such as steel or lead.
2. The rotor blade
The balance of the helicopter rotor blade requires best. Tungsten alloy can be mounted on a single blade of an imbalance in the process of manufacturing location, such as in the helicopter balancer.
3. The propeller
Tungsten alloy counterweight can load a fail safe device to avoid speeding.
When designing the aerospace and defence industries need high density, good mechanical strength, easy processing materials, and tungsten alloy is the best choice. The density of tungsten is 1.7 times that of the lead, with good mechanical properties and process performance, so it is the best material for plane counterweight, making the plane running smoothly without rocking. In the case of a given moment, use tungsten as a counterweight can away from the center of gravity point. The lightweight requires no-load and light weight, compact size, in order to reduce fuel consumption. The high-density tungsten alloy products greatly reduced the physical size of components. This can be easier to control the weight distribution and increase the sensitivity of control mechanisms. When a large number of materials need to be placed in a narrow space, tungsten alloy become the ideal material.
