Tungsten Powder: Product Overview 

At 3422°C, tungsten has the highest melting temperature of any element. Our tungsten powder is made to have a high sintering activity, which means it can manufacture parts that are denser at lower processing temperatures.

Key Benefits:

  • Thermal Stability:

    Can sustain very high temperatures in filaments and furnaces.
  • High Density:

    Great for stopping radiation.
  • Conductivity:

    Great for making electrical contacts.

Tungsten Powder Application

Tungsten powder is an important part of:

  • Cemented Carbides:

    Used to manufacture drills and strong cutting tools.
  • Additive Manufacturing:

    Used in SLS and EBM to make dense 3D prints.
  • Electronics:

    X-ray targets and filaments.
  • Shielding:

    Protection from high-density radiation.

Properties Of Tungsten Powder

To be successful with Tungsten powder, you need to understand it:

  • Physical:

    It has a high density, like gold, and is quite opaque.
  • Mechanical:

    It still possesses a lot of tensile strength even when it's red hot.
  • Chemical:

    Tungsten powder doesn't react with mineral acids and is chemically stable, but it does oxidize when it's hot.
