What is the tungsten alloy grade?

 

The tungsten alloy refers to any metallic alloy in which the tungsten (W) is the main component, typically making up between 80% and 95% of the total composition, combined with other metals such as nickel, iron, copper, and cobalt.

 

TUNGSTEN ALLOY MATERIAL GRADE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

 

Common types

W-Ni-Fe (tungsten-nickel-iron) :
The most common "heavy tungsten alloy"; offers a good balance between strength and ductility.

W-Ni-Cu (tungsten-nickel-copper):
Non-magnetic version used when magnetism must be avoided.

Tungsten carbide (WC):
Technically, it’s a tungsten compound rather than an alloy, but it’s often grouped with alloys due to their similar applications. Extremely hard.
