Tungsten Alloys Supplier

Tungsten has the highest melting point of the refractory metals, high density, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. It offers exceptionally high strength and good electrical resistivity at very high temperatures. Unalloyed Tungsten is very difficult to machine and fabricate. Eagle Alloys can furnish finished parts in this material in relatively quick turnaround times. We can also supply 1%, 1.5%, 2% Lanthanated, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% Thoriated Tungsten and Tungsten Rhenium Alloys.

Many applications of Tungsten are based on its high melting point and density and its low vapor pressure. Tungsten is an excellent material for high vacuum technology, dimensional stability, glass seals and furnace construction. In addition, Tungsten’s high density gives it a capacity to absorb radioactive radiation. Tungsten has found wide use as additives to steel to enhance physical properties and an alloy with nickel, copper and iron to provide high density machinable materials.

Tungsten has long been used for filaments in the lamp industry. It offers exceptionally high strength at very high temperatures. Tungsten has the best high temperature strength of the four common refractory metals. Its high temperature strength, combined with its good electrical resistivity, have made it a popular choice for many applications. Tungsten is used for heating elements in vacuum furnaces that exceed the temperatures of molybdenum and tantalum as well as other heater applications.
