In situations where working space is limited, tungsten bucking bar is the ideal option. These bars are twice as heavy as the conventional ones made of steel. This material allows you to create smaller bars that can fit perfectly in smaller locations. Although they may have a smaller size, their weight and mass is sufficient for the manufacture of high quality rivets. Apart from the small size for big density, they increase operator comfort by minimizing vibration.

Although these bars may cost substantially more than steel bars, they are worth every penny spent. The experience they offer is simply incomparable. A single tungsten bucking bar can replace several other bars made of steel. These bars are specifically polished on all surfaces to allow bucking on any surface of the bar. Radiused corners prevent any damage to materials.

Many companies use steel in the manufacture of their bucking bars, but often this material does not sufficiently absorb the force or deaden the vibration and there is a still a risk to the user.

Tungsten alloy can be used in the manufacture of either the entire bucking bar or just the impact face, and is a much safer alternative than other materials. As tungsten is a very dense metal, a larger mass can be incorporated into a smaller area. The resultant extra weight is pivotal in decreasing the vibration felt by the worker.

Using tungsten bucking bars has been shown to visibly reduce the effects of vibration white finger, and consequently improves efficiency in the workplace. Studies have indicated that using Wolfmet can save workers up to three seconds per rivet.

Tungsten alloy can also be used for other tooling applications such as boring bars for machine tools and grinding quills.

A bucking bar is a tool that is placed on a work surface or the backside of a metal rivet to provide a cushioning counter in order to hammer rivets on the opposite side. It can also be used in operations that require impact fasteners. This includes applications involving tool heads and handle parts that have low recoil absorbing space. The bar size and weight usually depends on the alloy used and the rivet size required.

In everyday use, bucking bars undergo considerable stress. The bars are meant to withstand the impact when rivet guns deliver their impulsive blow. If the supporting metal alloy is rather soft, the bucking bar will quickly wear out and the necessary assembly support will not be achieved. On the flip side, if the metal alloy is very hard and brittle, the bucking bar will soon get fractured. Striking a balance between the tendency to crack and overall hardness is vital for success.

Recent research results indicate that bucking bars made of tungsten provide extra safety for operators through vibration reduction. Operators also get less fatigued and their chances of injury are significantly reduced. The density of tungsten is a reliable property that makes it ideal for future designs of bucking bars. Most bucking bar designs contain 90% tungsten. Deburred edges and polished working surfaces ensure trouble-free use.

Tungsten bucking bars are included in powerful tools such as riveting guns in order to reduce vibration.

Employees using this equipment can suffer from industrial diseases such as vibration white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome. These conditions affect the bones, muscles and nerves in the hands, potentially leaving staff unable to work.

Therefore, these bucking bars can play a vital role in maintaining staff wellbeing, as well as preventing your company from having to deal with potentially costly compensation claims from injured workers.
