General knowledge of Tungsten Rods

Tungsten alloy is the ideal material for counterweights. Firstly, because tungsten alloy counterweights are environmentally friendly and water-friendly, and because of their high density and the advantages of easy machining, tensile strength, and hardness, they keep the ship in balance and operate more stably. Tungsten alloys are generally refractory metals with a two-phase composite consisting of W-Ni-Fe or W-Ni-Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe. Some tungsten alloys have Co, Mo and Cr added and can be made into various shapes such as rods, bars, cylinders, cubes, spheres, blocks, sheets, and rings. etc. Let's take a look at what we know about Tungsten Rods. Here are some answers.

General information about Tungsten Rods.

Tungsten is one of the few non-ferrous minerals in the world that is produced in low annual volumes and is used in a wide range of applications, mainly as a raw material for foundry ingredients. Tungsten originates from a white sandy ore body with particularly tiny ore lines. After several processes such as mining, grinding, water re-election, and refining, tungsten ore powder with a grade of over 95% is obtained and then refined and shaped in a high-temperature electric furnace to produce the finished product that is the tungsten bar. The melting point of tungsten: 3500°C. Tungsten ore is mainly found in China and Russia, and China is the world's largest exporter of tungsten. The purity of Tungsten Rods should normally be above 99.95% and must be tested by an authoritative body, such as the National Centre for Analysis and Testing of Non-Ferrous Metals and Electronic Materials.

There are four main applications for Tungsten Rods.

Firstly, Tungsten Rods are suitable for micro-drilling. Secondly, tungsten alloy rod has good wear resistance and bending resistance and are mainly used for the production of extruded rods, which are suitable for general drill bits, tools, and other wear-resistant parts. Thirdly, Tungsten Rods have good wear resistance and bending resistance and are mainly used for the production of extruded bars, for making small diameter micro drills, tools for watch processing, integral reamers, and other sharpening tools and wear-resistant parts. Fourthly, Tungsten Rods are an ultra-fine grained tungsten steel material with high hardness, good bending strength, wear resistance, and resistance to chipping and fracture, and are used for micro drills, tungsten milling cutters, engraving cutters, and wear-resistant parts.

An explanation of Tungsten Rods and their advantages.

Tungsten Rods are inorganic compounds containing equal amounts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, it is a subtle grey powder, but it can be used in industrial machinery, tools, abrasives and to form shapes for use. Its hardness is comparable to that of diamond and it can only be polished as a carbide, using cubic boron nitride abrasives.

Tungsten Rods are a new technology and a new material, mainly used in industries such as metal cutting tool manufacturing, wood, plastics for the required hardness and wear resistance of corrosion-resistant products, etc. Cutting tungsten carbide rod is mainly characterized by stable mechanical properties, easy welding, high wear resistance, and high impact resistance.
