Molybdenum and Tungsten Products

Tungsten Products and Typical Specifications

Tungsten has the highest melting point (3422°C) of all the non-alloyed metals. It can keep its strength and stiffness at high temperatures. Tungsten has good thermal conductivity and lowest thermal expansion of any pure metal. Its corrosion resistance is excellent and it can be attacked only slightly by most mineral acids.

Tungsten is suitable for aerospace and high temperature uses which include electrical, heating, and welding applications. Hardness and density properties make this metal ideal for making heavy metal alloys that are used in armament, heat sinks, and high density applications. Cemented carbides (also called hardmetals) are wear-resistant materials used by the metalworking, mining, petroleum and construction industries. Tungsten is also widely used in light bulb and vacuum tube filaments, as well as electrodes.
