Category: Tungsten

Tungsten also referred to as Wolfram, is a chemical element with the chemical symbol W and atomic number 74. After Carbon, Tungsten has the highest melting point of all elements. Tungsten is among the heaviest metals found on Earth. It has excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, with the lowest expansion coefficient and highest conductivity of all metals.

Advanced Refractory Metal is a leading supplier of Tungsten products. We offer low pricing and great lead times on all our materials, and we’re capable of supplying custom materials per any specs/drawings you provide us with.

Tungsten Nickel Copper Alloy Shield

0 Comment

Tungsten Nickel Copper Alloy Shield The tungsten nickel-copper alloy shield is a new type of lead-free medical radiation shield. The biggest difference between it and the tungsten-nickel-iron alloy shield is that the W-Ni-Cu alloy is non-magnetic, so it can be used in fields that are sensitive to magnetic environments, thereby exerting its unique anti-interference advantages. […]
