Tungsten Alloy & Steel Data Sheet
What is Tungsten Alloy?
Tungsten Alloy refers to alloys primarily composed of tungsten (W) mixed with other metals such as nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), or molybdenum (Mo). These alloys combine extreme density, high strength, and thermal stability, making them ideal for precision and high-performance applications.
Key Properties:
Density: 14–18 g/cm³ depending on composition
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in W-Ni-Fe and W-Ni-Co alloys
Wear Resistance: Suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications
Thermal Stability: High melting point and dimensional stability
Machinability: Can be precision-machined to tight tolerances
