Highly crystalline and hexagonal single-phase cesium tungsten bronze(Cs0.32WO3) nanoparticles can be successfully synthesized by a flame-assisted spray pyrolysis. The proposed process has several advantages, including a short reaction time and the ability to yield products with high purity and good energy efficiency. Furthermore, the Cs0.32WO3 nanoparticles produced in this research showed a remarkable near-infrared shielding ability with a 97.7% cut-off at 1500 nm.

Tungsten alloy counterweight is used in a wide range of different applications, including helicopter. Here, in this article, we take a closer look at two cases of its application in different helicopters.

Every crane has a set of tungsten alloy counterweight which guarantees the counterbalance and prevents the machine of toppling over. Mobile cranes are heavy equipment vehicles that have been designed to lift, lower and transport heavy loads. They are employed in the off-highway industry to move freights beyond the normal capability of a man.

Why It is Important to Apply Proper Counter Weight?

The tungsten alloy counterweight plays a critical role. If it is not designed properly and doesn’t possess the right size and shape, it turns automatically into an extremely dangerous subject that can make the vehicle topple over in the direction of the load or backward. When trying to lift a load, a crane can topple over in the load’s direction if the counterweight set up is too light for the load and booms the configuration. Otherwise, the counterweight can topple a crane backwards in situations when:

The counterweight is too heavy for the boom configuration.

The crane is traveling up a slope.

When the crane is on soft ground, inadequate timbers are placed under the outrigger pads below the counterweight.

Outriggers or any other ground support are not extended or lowered into position and cannot resist the combined weights and tipping forces.

If the boom configuration is lifted too high and there is not enough load applied on it.

Tungsten Alloy Counterweight are The Safest Option

Mobile cranes are far smaller than the fixed crane configurations, but still facing the same loads challenges. Especially because of their size, they need small, but very heavy counterweights. Thanks to its density only tungsten alloy can meet those requirements. Safe and risk reduction safety guidelines should be followed on a daily basis to ensure that the vehicle is in proper working condition. Preventive maintenance and safety inspections should be regularly performed to detect potential accidents. Mobile crane counterweights ensure the safe operation of the vehicle by keeping it stable and upright. Best design practices, most reliable raw material selection as tungsten and regular safety inspections are essential for the performance of a high-quality counterweight.

Tungsten alloy is an excellent material to manufacture tungsten alloy crankshaft counterweights in motorbike. All engines need perfectly balanced crankshafts to ensure optimized performance. If a crankshaft is not correctly balanced, the consequences can be severe.
