Tungsten heavy metal, the ideal balance

Due to high density but small volume, high melting point, excellent hardness, superior wearing resistance, high ultimate tensile strength, high ductility, well machinability, non-toxic and environmental friendly, high impact resistance and crack resistance, tungsten alloy counterweight become more and more popular.

Balancing weights are crucial components in many different applications. They help reduce the loads that parts are exposed to and consequently increase their service life. Here are a few examples:

· Aviation and aerospace: propeller and helicopter blades

· Automotive industry: crankshaft counterweights and chassis weights

· Watch industry: bobs on watch rotors

· Sports equipment: golf clubs

· Optical industry: microscopes and measuring instruments
