Tungsten Heavy Alloy Powder
At Elmet Technologies, we specialize in tungsten heavy alloy powder, a remarkable material renowned for its exceptional density, strength, and versatility. By combining tungsten with other metallic elements, this high-performance alloy is ideal for a wide range of demanding applications.
Its unique properties make it an indispensable choice for industries such as aerospace, defense, and medical imaging, among others. We provide tungsten heavy alloy in various forms, including powders, blocks, rods, and fully customized components, tailored to meet the precise needs of your project.
Tungsten Heavy Alloy Powders
The ASTM B777 standard defines four classifications of WHA powder based on tungsten content.
- Class 1 Powder (90% Tungsten): Balanced density and ductility for counterweights, radiation shields.
- Class 2 Powder (92.5% Tungsten): Higher density for inertial masses, impact-resistant components.
- Class 3 Powder (95% Tungsten): Superior strength for defense, aerospace, and high-performance uses.
- Class 4 Powder (97.5% Tungsten): Maximum density for radiation and X-ray shielding applications.
Each classification is designed to meet industry-specific demands while maintaining exceptional performance and reliability.
Magnetic vs. Non-Magnetic WHA
When selecting WHA, one critical decision is choosing between low magnetic (low mag) and non-magnetic (non-mag) options. Low-mag alloys provide minimal magnetic properties, making them useful for specific industrial applications. In contrast, non-mag alloys are engineered to eliminate magnetic interference, which is essential for precise technologies like medical imaging and sensitive aerospace electronics.
Benefits of Tungsten Heavy Alloy
WHA offers a range of benefits that make it an unrivaled material choice, such as:
- Environmental Advantage: A lead-free solution for radiation shielding, reducing environmental impact.
- High Density: Essential for applications requiring concentrated mass in small areas.
- Strength & Durability: Capable of withstanding high-stress environments without deformation.
- Machinability: Easier to machine compared to pure tungsten, allowing for intricate and complex designs.
- Radiation Absorption: Superior shielding capabilities for gamma rays and X-rays.
