PLANSEE DENSIMET - Tungsten alloys are materials with a high tungsten content and low amounts of NiFe (binder material). They show similar high densities as pure tungsten, but they are much easier to machine. DENSIMET alloys are characterised in particular by their excellent strength and ductility.
Advantages of DENSIMET - Tungsten alloys:
- high density from 17.0 to 18.5 g/cm3
- high absorption capacity against X-rays and gamma rays
- good machinability
- high Young´s modulus and very good mechanical properties
- harmless to the health and environment
Typical areas of application:
- protection shields for nuclear radiation
- counter weights for the engine construction
- aerospace
- mechanical engineering
- fine mechanical technology
- forming
- sports
