Military
and Other Applications
Kinetic
energy penetrators for defeating heavy armor
Tungsten
alloys can be used for a variety of applications, including arms
 projectiles,
nuclear shielding(X-rays, β-ray and γ-ray etc.), counterweight
parts on aircrafts, yachts,
ships and etc.
The
need to reduce environmentally hazardous materials in the military
field has led to the replacement of lead projectiles and other
armaments. High-density metals such as tungsten are now widely
employed, the goal to create functional, high density, non-toxic
small arms projectiles with controlled impact behavior.
The
special properties of tungsten alloy render it the most ideal
counterweight materials, far more than already listed on our website.
We
welcome the opportunity to collaborate with our customers in the
design of individual specifications. Our mission is to meet individual
customer requirements. Flexibility is our strength. We pride ourselves
on being able to find the right solution to customer’s problems.
