What is Military Tungsten Alloy?
Military tungsten alloys are mainly based on tungsten (W), with a content of 82% to 98%, and a small amount of nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) and other elements are added for alloying. These added elements can improve the toughness, processing performance and mechanical properties of tungsten alloys. The preparation of tungsten alloys usually involves powder metallurgy processes, including powder mixing, pressing, sintering and subsequent processing steps to obtain the desired shape and properties. Features of military tungsten alloy: Its density is much higher than that of ordinary steel, usually between 16.5~18.75g/cm³, which makes it an ideal material for manufacturing parts that require high quality and high strength; it has excellent mechanical properties, including high strength and high hardness, and can withstand extreme pressure and wear; it exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in a variety of environments, and has a higher radiation absorption capacity than lead, making it the preferred radiation protection material; it also has high thermal conductivity and good toughness, and can maintain stable performance under high temperature and high stress conditions. Specific uses of military tungsten alloys: Tungsten alloys are ideal materials for manufacturing armor-piercing projectile cores due to their high density and...
