Tungsten is alloyed with different elements such as nickel, copper, and iron to produce a large variety of tungsten alloys. Many of these alloys have engineering properties similar to steel, are relatively easy to machine, and can be plated or painted to enhance their corrosion protection. Tungsten Alloys are approximately 50% denser than lead resulting in a higher concentration of mass in a limited area. It is critical to understand the differences between the various tungsten alloys and grades, and the advantages and limitations of the processes use to make these alloys.
Tungsten Alloys have found wide acceptance in applications such as radiation shielding, medical equipment, boring bars, vibration dampening, sporting goods, as well as counterweights in aircraft and racing cars.
Tungsten Alloys per ASTM B777-07 in various grades with a variety of densities (17.00 GM/CC to 18.50 GM/CC) and various physical, magnetic, mechanical and chemical properties. However, it is very important to realize that the fabrication process for tungsten alloys does not lend itself to the manufacture of standard size forms (such as plate, sheet, long rod/bar, etc.), as one would expect with other alloys.
