Tungsten

Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a lustrous, silvery-white metal that tarnishes in air. It has the highest melting point of all other non-alloyed metals. It also has the highest tensile strength. Pure tungsten is ductile; however, impure tungsten is often brittle and hard making it difficult to work with. It is one of the five major refractory metals, meaning that it is has a very high resistance to heat and water. Its atomic number is 74 and the chemical symbol for is W.

ShaanXi's tungsten products can be produced according to the requests of customers: tungsten bar, tungsten sheet, tungsten wire, tungsten disc, tungsten crucible, tungsten carbide and other tungsten compounds.
Applications

Due to its hardness, tungsten is used in of heavy metal alloys. It is also used in military applications, and can be found in penetrating projectiles. A significant amount of tungsten, approximately 18%, is used in making high speed steel (steel that can cut through materials at higher speeds than carbon steel). Tungsten carbide, due to its hardness, makes it a key component in tools. Tungsten’s high melting point lends its properties to the aerospace industry for high-temperature applications such as electrical, heating and welding applications. It is also used in jewelry due to its wear resistance.

Pure tungsten is used mainly in electrical applications, while tungsten compounds and alloys are used in various applications, most commonly in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), and superalloys.
