Tungsten Alloys are used across multiple industries where extreme density, strength, and heat resistance are critical:
Q1: What is the difference between W-Ni-Fe and W-Ni-Cu tungsten alloys?
A: W-Ni-Fe offers higher mechanical strength and magnetic properties, making it suitable for structural components. W-Ni-Cu is non-magnetic and preferred for medical and electronic shielding.
Q2: What is the typical density of tungsten alloys?
A: Depending on the composition, tungsten alloys typically range from 17.0 to 18.5 g/cm³, which is about 1.7 times the density of lead.
Q3: Can ARM provide custom shapes and machined parts?
A: Yes, ARM offers precision machining and custom fabrication services based on your specifications and drawings.
Q4: Are these tungsten alloys safe to use for radiation shielding?
A: Absolutely. Tungsten alloys are non-toxic and environmentally safer than lead, offering excellent gamma and X-ray attenuation properties.
Q5: What’s the lead time for tungsten alloy products?
A: Standard sizes are usually in stock and ship within 3–5 business days. Custom orders may take 2–4 weeks depending on complexity.
