Features

 

High Density

High density is one of the core characteristics of this alloy. Its density is significantly higher than most conventional materials, making it excel in applications requiring high weight density. For example, in the aerospace industry, high-density materials are used for precise counterweights to ensure aircraft balance and stability.

Additionally, its high density provides a significant advantage in radiation shielding, enabling more effective absorption and blocking of X-rays, gamma rays, and other forms of radiation.

 

High Strength and Hardness

Tungsten itself is a high-hardness material, and by adding nickel and copper, this alloy maintains high hardness while also exhibiting good ductility and toughness. Its tensile strength typically ranges between 700-1000 MPa, allowing it to withstand high mechanical stress.

The alloy's hardness also makes it perform exceptionally well in machining and wear-resistant environments. For instance, when used in molds and tool holders, it significantly extends service life.

 

Excellent Machinability

Although pure tungsten is brittle, the addition of nickel and copper enhances the alloy's machinability and formability. This alloy can be cut, drilled, and shaped using conventional machining methods, greatly improving its flexibility in practical applications.

Its excellent machinability also allows for customization to meet specific requirements in terms of shape and size.

 

Non-Magnetic Properties

This alloy is non-magnetic, making it suitable for applications where magnetic interference must be avoided. For example, in electronic devices and precision instruments, non-magnetic materials prevent magnetic fields from affecting performance, ensuring stable operation.

 

Superior Radiation Shielding Capability

High-density tungsten alloy absorbs 30-40% more X-rays and gamma rays than lead, making it an ideal radiation shielding material. In the medical field, this alloy is used to manufacture X-ray targets, collimators, and shielding components, effectively protecting medical personnel and patients from radiation exposure.

Due to its high density and absorption efficiency, this alloy is also widely used in the nuclear energy sector, such as in thermoelectric generator containers.

 

Corrosion and Wear Resistance

The tungsten-nickel-copper alloy exhibits excellent corrosion and wear resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments. In mechanical manufacturing and aerospace applications, this alloy can endure high temperatures, high humidity, and chemical corrosion, ensuring long-term stable performance of equipment.
