Tungsten-based High Density Alloys in The Aerospace Industry

Tungsten-based High Density Alloys in The Aerospace Industry

In the precision navigation and control system of satellites, rockets, missiles and airplanes, the navigation gyroscope is undoubtedly the indispensable “heart”. Tungsten-based high-density alloy, with its high density of 16.5~19.0 g/cm³ and excellent mechanical properties, has become the ideal material for manufacturing gyroscope outer edge rotor. This not only ensures the stable operation of gyroscopes in extreme environments, but also enhances the precision and reliability of navigation systems, providing strong support for precise positioning and route planning of aircraft.

The stable operation of communication satellites is directly related to the smooth communication on the ground. The application of tungsten-based high-density alloy in the attitude instrument effectively overcomes the shaking phenomenon of satellites due to various factors and guarantees the accurate control of satellite attitude. This application not only improves the stability and efficiency of satellite communication, but also lays a solid foundation for the stable operation of the global communication network. In the design and manufacture of aircraft, the performance of key components such as balance blocks, shock absorbers and lift controllers is directly related to flight safety. 

Tungsten-based high-density alloy has become an ideal choice for these components due to its high density, high strength and good corrosion resistance. For example, the tungsten alloy structural parts in the flap balance adjustment system not only effectively improve the adjustment precision and stability of the flaps, but also significantly enhance the safety and maneuverability of the aircraft under complex flight conditions.
