Tungsten (W)
Tungsten W is derived from Wolframite (Fe,MnWO4) and is widely used in the filament industry for lamps & electronic contacts, for hardening metals and as a dry high-temperature lubricant. We sell Tungsten as gauze, foil and bars, and can source regular and plated wire to a range of certified purities. We actively trade across a network of sources so that we can offer you, the customer, the best price and the best service.
Applications
Primary applications that demand Tungsten include:
- Tungsten
as a high density material (19.3 g/cm3)
for use in dynamic balancing, counterweights
and flywheels.
- Tungsten
for radiation shields and x-ray targets.
- Tungsten
wire which is drawn into a fine filament
for use in lighting, electronic devices
and thermocouples.
- Tungsten
powders for chemical applications such
as dyes, pigments, catalysts, cathode
ray tubes and x-ray screens.
- Tungsten
as an additive for high temperature resistant
alloy
