Tungsten Machined Parts

Resistance to high temperatures
Of all metals in their purest form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3422°C). This can be hugely beneficial in certain situations (particularly when compared to other more common metals). For example, it makes tungsten an excellent material for high-temperature environments – and this is why it is so widely used in the aerospace, automatic and construction industries.

High-density
Tungsten benefits from a very high density. In fact, at 19.3 g/cm3, it is amongst the highest of all metals, with tungsten’s density measuring approximately 19.3 times higher than that of water and 1.7 times higher than that of lead.

Low thermal expansion
Tungsten machined parts has the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion of all pure metals. Compared to common manufacturing materials (e.g. steel), this gives it the benefit of added stability under extreme heat.

Corrosion-resistance
Tungsten machined parts is highly resistant to corrosion and can be used in a range of corrosive environments and outdoor applications. For example, it is particularly useful when prolonged exposure to corrosive substances – such as water, acid, or solvents – is likely.

Strength in fabrication
Tungsten is an extremely robust metal, with the highest tensile strength of all pure metals. While this can make it brittle under certain circumstances, when it comes to the process of metal fabrication, tungsten’s rigidity means that it can be drawn into very thin wires without fracturing.
