High Density Tungsten Alloy Rod
1. What's High Density Tungsten Alloy Rod?
High density tungsten alloy rod is a dense metal rod manufactured through high-temperature sintering, using tungsten as the matrix material and adding binder phases such as nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), or copper (Cu). CTIA’s high density tungsten alloy rod typically contains 90%–97% tungsten by weight and offers high melting point, high density, good ductility, and machinability. It is mainly divided into two series:
(1) W-Ni-Fe Alloy Rod: Ferromagnetic, with tensile strength reaching 700-1400 MPa, often used for high-load structural components.
(2) W-Ni-Cu Alloy Rod: Non-magnetic, suitable for high-precision instruments and equipment sensitive to magnetic interference.
2. Characteristics of CTIA's High Density Tungsten Alloy Rod
(1) High Density and High Strength: Density ranges from 17.0 to 18.8 g/cm³, providing large mass within a small volume; tensile strength is usually 700-1000 MPa, with some grades reaching up to 1400 MPa, offering good load-bearing and wear resistance.
(2) Superior Radiation Shielding: Strong absorption capability for gamma (γ) rays and X-rays, with shielding performance 30%–40% higher than lead. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, avoiding toxicity hazards associated with lead, making it suitable for efficient radiation protection components.
(3) Good Machinability: Nickel-iron or nickel-copper binder phases improve material toughness, making precision machining like turning, milling, and grinding easier compared with pure tungsten.
(4) Stable Thermal Properties: Low coefficient of thermal expansion (4.5-5.5×10⁻⁶/K ) maintains good dimensional stability under temperature-varying environments, suitable for precision equipment and special working conditions.
3. Applications of CTIA's High Density Tungsten Alloy Rod
CTIA's high density tungsten alloy rod, with high density, high strength, good machinability, and superior radiation shielding capability, is widely used in aerospace, medical protection, machinery manufacturing, and high-end equipment fields.
(1) Aerospace Counterweights: Used for aircraft balance weights, aerospace counterweights, satellite counterweights, gyroscope counterweight components, and attitude control parts, realizing small-volume, high-mass adjustment to enhance equipment operating stability.
(2) Medical Radiation Shielding: Used for collimators and shielding components in X-ray equipment, CT scanners, radiotherapy equipment, and nuclear industry radioisotope containers, providing efficient radiation protection.
(3) Vibration Damping and Machinery Manufacturing: Used for building tuned mass dampers, CNC vibration-damping components, anti-vibration tool holders, mold inserts, and precision mechanical parts, improving equipment stability and machining accuracy.
(4) Drilling and Engineering Equipment: Used for oil drilling tools, deep-well drilling tools, counterweight rods, and special engineering components, satisfying usage demands under high loads and complex environments.
(5) Electronic Equipment and Electrode Manufacturing: Used for EDM electrodes, vacuum equipment components, and precision electronics parts, utilizing advantages of wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and electrical conductivity.
