Description of Tungsten Sheet and Plate
Tungsten sheets and plates are dense, durable tungsten products, recognized for their exceptional strength, high melting point, and excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. With the chemical symbol W and atomic number 74, tungsten has a melting temperature of 3,422°C and a density of 19.25 g/cm³. These characteristics make tungsten sheets and plates highly suitable for demanding environments and applications where thermal stability and strength are crucial.
Application
- Aerospace and Defense: Used in thermal shielding, missile components, and radiation shielding.
- Nuclear Industry: Ideal for structural components in reactors, such as fuel cladding and shielding.
- Electronics: Common in heat sinks, high-temperature electrical contacts, and thin conductive layers.
- Medical Equipment: Used in radiation shielding for imaging equipment and for surgical tools.
- Manufacturing: Essential in die components, cutting tools, and machinery exposed to wear and high temperatures.
How to select Tungsten Sheet and Plate
When selecting Tungsten Sheets and Plates, consider the following key factors:
- Purity: High-purity tungsten (99.95% or higher) is required for critical applications in aerospace, medical, and nuclear industries.
- Thickness and Size: Select thickness and dimensions based on application needs, with thicker plates for structural uses and thin sheets for precision applications.
- Alloy Composition: Tungsten alloys, like W-Ni-Fe or W-Cu, offer enhanced properties for applications that need added machinability or thermal conductivity.
- Surface Finish: Polished or coated surfaces may be needed for electronics, medical devices, or other high-precision applications.
- Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength, hardness, and toughness are essential for high-stress or high-temperature uses.
