Aerospace
High-density materials are used as aerospace alloys, combining mechanical strength and easy machinability. Because
tungsten is so dense, it is possible to reduce the physical size of components, offering greater control of weight distribution. Aerospace alloy applications include rotor blades, propellers, inertial systems, fluid control systems, bucking bars, trim weights, and prototype models.
Defense
Mi-Tech Tungsten is an ITAR-certified member of the National Armaments Consortium. Our alloys can be used in the manufacture of munitions, weapons systems, body armor, and other defense industry applications.
Medical
High-density alloys are widely used in collimators (X-ray and radiation therapy), medical isotope production, transport and containment, and a variety of radiation shielding applications.
Auto Racing
Skid plates made from our rugged tungsten alloys offer greater protection than traditional materials. Chassis weights (designed for balance and lowering the car’s center of gravity) made from high-density alloys take up significantly less volume than their lead counterparts.
Homeland Security
Tungsten alloys are used extensively in ordnance applications and large container inspection devices. They are also used in airport security in package, luggage, and personal X-ray devices.
Machining and Tooling
All over the world, Mi-Tech Tungsten Metals’ high-density metals are used for boring bars, grinding quills, tool extensions, and a host of other machining applications. Benefits include: reduced vibration, resistance to breakage and chipping, less downtime, and ease of finishing.
Oil and Natural Gas Wells
The radiation shielding properties of tungsten alloys protect sensitive equipment used to detect oil and natural gas deposits. High-density alloys are also used for casing material in down hole logging where casings must be heavy enough to sink through mud and strong enough to withstand intense hydrostatic pressure.
Die Cast
Tungsten’s high-thermal conductivity and ability to maintain superior physical properties even at extreme temperatures make it ideal for die casting, extrusion, and other high-temperature tooling applications.
Automotive
Tungsten products are widely used in the automotive industry as a whole, particularly in tooling and die cast applications.
Sports and Leisure
The finest darts, horseshoes, and golf clubs all take advantage of
Rs Electro Tungsten’ high-density metals to achieve perfect weight and balance. High-end firearms also benefit from counterbalances made from tungsten alloys.
