Tungsten Parts

Tungsten has the highest melting point of the refractory metals, high density, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. It offers exceptionally high strength and good electrical resistivity at very high temperatures. Unalloyed Tungsten is very difficult to machine and fabricate. Eagle Alloys can furnish finished parts in this material in relatively quick turnaround times.

Typical applications for Tungsten are Filaments, vacuum furnaces, electrical contacts, glass-to-metal seals, supports, electrodes, cathodes and anodes, electronics, radiation shielding, medical devices, x-ray targets, ion implantation parts, windings and heating elements for electrical furnaces, sputtering targets, heat shields, heat bodies, tungsten boats and crucibles.

1. High Melting Point: The high melting point enables the tungsten parts to bear extremely high temperatures without melting or deforming, hence it is appropriate for high-temperature applications.

2. High Density: Tungsten is highly dense, and this gives tungsten parts good mass and weight qualities for applications in which weight is a vital factor.

3. Thermal Conductivity: Tungsten has a very good thermal conductivity; heat is dissipated efficiently, which is very useful in applications where tungsten parts play a decisive role.

4. Electrical Conductivity: Tungsten is an electrically conducting metal used in a number of electrical applications, such as filaments in light bulbs and electrodes.

5. The coefficient of thermal expansion for tungsten is relatively low, and this means that tungsten parts will remain dimensionally stable across a wide range of temperatures.

6. Mechanical Properties: Tungsten's strength, combined with good mechanical properties, presents opportunities to use tungsten parts in structural applications.

Electronics: Tungsten is used in electronic components owing to its very high melting point and electrical conductivity. Light bulb filaments, electron emission filaments, and heating elements are some of the common applications of this metal.

Aerospace: The parts in aerospace, such as rocket nozzles and re-entry shields, are made of tungsten on account of its ability to bear the extreme temperatures expected during atmospheric re-entry.

Nuclear: Tungsten parts have their use in the nuclear industry because of their density and also resistance to radiation in devices such as radiation shields and control rods.

Induction Heating; The parts of the element of tungsten can be used in high-temperature refrigeration and heating elements. This is due to good heat-conductive capacity at high temperatures, besides resistance.

- Medical field: It finds its usage in the medical sector due to its high melting point and biocompatibility, with tungsten parts used in surgical tools and radiation therapy.
