The performance of tungsten alloy plates is closely related to their manufacturing materials. Below are some properties of tungsten alloys for reference.
High density: The density of tungsten alloy is generally 16.5-19.0g/cm3, which is equivalent to more than twice the density of steel.
High tensile strength: The tensile strength of sintered W-Ni-Fe high-density alloy is 800~1000MPa, and its strength can be increased to 1300~1500 MPa after heat treatment and deformation processing.
Good ductility: W-Ni-Fe high-density alloy has excellent ductility, and its sintered elongation can reach 10%~15%. After vacuum or atmosphere dehydrogenation treatment, the elongation can be increased to 20%~30%.
Good ability to absorb radiation: High density alloys have a 30% to 40% higher ability to absorb radiation than lead, and their stability is also better than lead.
Good electrical performance: W-Ni-Cu and W-Ni-Fe high-density alloys have good electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, high voltage resistance, and other electrical properties.
Good thermal conductivity and low coefficient of linear expansion: Its thermal conductivity is 5 times that of mold steel, and its coefficient of linear expansion is only 1/2~1/3 of iron or steel
Good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.
Good machining characteristics: Due to the excellent ductility of W-Ni-Fe high-density alloys, they can be machined for turning, milling, planing, threading, and tapping, as well as subjected to large deformation strengthening treatments such as rolling, swaging, and forging.
