Thorium tungsten electrode is a common use of tungsten electrode material , it is also advantageous than pure tungsten welding performance , which is widely used in DC welding field .

Thoriated tungsten electrode is simple , even when the overload current of the operation can be very good .

Even so , people still gradually turns to other types of tungsten electrodes , such as tungsten and tungsten lanthanum cerium , not only because they are in most applications have shown excellent performance, but it is important that they do not radiate injury. Since thorium tungsten electrodes produce small amounts of radiation thorium oxide , making some welding personnel not go near them.

In the use of thorium tungsten electrode welding must maintain good ventilation , waste welding head to properly handle .

Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod & MILAN

Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod through calcinations. The normal method used in the processing are extruding, forging and sintering. After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. Tungsten alloy swaging can be used for MILAN for its high density and high hardness.

MILAN is a European anti-tank guided missile. Design of the MILAN started in 1962. It was ready for trials in 1971, and was accepted for service in 1972. It is a wire guided SACLOS (Semi-Automatic Command to Line-Of-Sight) missile, which means the sight of the launch unit has to be aimed at the target to guide the missile. The MILAN can be equipped with a MIRA thermal sight, or MILIS to give it night-firing ability.

MILAN is a French and German missile that has been license-built by Italy, Spain, Britain and India. As it is guided by wire by an operator, this missile can avoid most countermeasures (flares and chaffs). The drawbacks are its short range, the exposure of the operator, and that it requires a skilled and well-trained operator.

With high density and high hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod, MILAN can penetrate the armor and destroy tank and other heavily-armored vehicles.

Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod for AGM-114

Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod through calcinations. The normal method used in the processing are extruding, forging and sintering. After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. Warhead of AGM-114 is made of tungsten alloy swaging rod.

The AGM-114 is an air-to-surface missile (ASM) developed primarily for anti-armor use. It was originally developed under the name Helicopter Launched, Fire and Forget Missile, which led to the acronym 'Hellfire' that became the missile's formal name.[2] It has multi-mission, multi-target precision-strike capability, and can be launched from multiple air, sea, and ground platforms. The Hellfire missile is the primary 100 lb-class air-to-ground precision weapon for the armed forces of the United States and many other nations, and is considered a proven tactical missile system, as it has been used in combat since the mid-1980s.

AGM-114 is a comprehensive weapon system that can be deployed from rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, waterborne vessels and land-based systems against a variety of targets.

With the high density and high hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod, AGM-114 can penetrate the armor and destroy the tank.

Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod for FGM-148

Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod through calcinations. The normal method used in the processing are extruding, forging and sintering. After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. Warhead of FGM-148 is made of tungsten alloy swaging rod.

FGM-148 is a United States-made man-portable fire-and-forget anti-tank missile fielded to replace the Dragon antitank missile in US service.

FGM-148  is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance. The system takes a top-attack flight profile against armored vehicles (attacking the top armor, which is generally thinner), but can also take a direct-attack mode for use against buildings. This missile also has the ability to engage helicopters in the direct attack mode. It can reach a peak altitude of 150 m (500 ft) in top-attack mode and 60 m in direct-fire mode. It is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker. The tandem warhead is fitted with two shaped charges: a precursor warhead to detonate any explosive reactive armor and a primary warhead to penetrate base armor.

With the high density and high hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod, FGM-148 can penetrate the armor on the top of tank and destroy the tank.

How to Use Bucking Bar to Buck Rivets

When you are going to buck rivets, this is just another name for setting them in place. A rivet is essentially a metal pin with a head on one end and a shank that goes through a hole between two pieces of metal. When the head is compressed against a bucking bar on the shank side, the shank has no where to go and expands outward forming another head. These two heads on either side act as a fastener and hold the piece of metal tightly together.

1.Place the rivet to be bucked into a rivet hole.

2.Push the pneumatic hammer against the head of the rivet, while at the same time placing the bucking bar on the shank of the rivet.

3.Find the center of the shank with the bucking bar. This does not have to be an exact science, but the closer the center can be found while pushing against the shank, the more symmetrical the expansion of the rivet shank will be.

4.Hold the bucking bar steady against the shank once the center has been found, then activate the pneumatic hammer to drive the rivet home.
