Tungsten-Based Alloys
In addition to pure tungsten, we also manufacture advanced alloys that are specifically designed and tailored to meet unique performance requirements.
- WHA: Ideal for mass/density-focused applications, these heavy alloys meet demanding needs in kinetic energy penetrators, radiation shielding, balance weights, and more.
- WK: Designed for high-temperature, non-sag applications in industries like lighting and electronics. WK alloy provides superior strength and machinability for various applications.
- WLa: This tungsten lanthanum alloy delivers enhanced high-temperature performance, including increased creep resistance, greater strength, and higher recrystallization temperatures.
High-Purity for Precision Manufacturing
At the core of our manufacturing process is our high-purity tungsten powder, produced through proprietary techniques that ensure unmatched precision in metal oxide reduction. This exceptional powder forms the foundation of all Elmet products, consistently meeting the highest standards of purity and quality. Leveraging advanced powder metallurgy expertise, we customize tungsten powders with unique grain structures and optimized green strengths for specialized applications, while also offering a wide range of other metal alloy powders to meet diverse industry requirements.
Unique Properties of Tungsten
Tungsten’s unique physical and chemical properties make it an unmatched resource for critical applications, including:
- High Melting Point: 3420 °C, the highest melting point of any metal.
