Core Features

High melting point (3410 ℃): Suitable for high-temperature environments such as rocket nozzles and nuclear fusion devices.

High density (19.25 g/cm ³): used for applications that require high kinetic energy, such as counterweights and armor piercing shells.

Excellent radiation shielding performance: used for nuclear industry and medical radiation protection.

High hardness and wear resistance: suitable for molds, cutting tools, etc.

Room temperature brittleness: It is difficult to process and requires special techniques to overcome.

Technical Challenges and Development Trends

Processing difficulties

The brittleness of tungsten can easily lead to edge breakage during cutting, and laser/electrical discharge machining or hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-treatment is required.

Complex structures require a combination of additive manufacturing and traditional processes such as 3D printing and copper infiltration.
