Experts in precision tungsten
alloy manufacturing

We excel at turning powder into high density machined tungsten alloy,

producing the highest quality components to very tight tolerances

Exellence in Tungsten

Wolfmet has more than 40 years of experience in the end-to-end production of tungsten alloy. We excel at turning powder into parts, precision-machining tungsten alloy into components of the highest quality to very tight tolerances. At 90-97% tungsten, Wolfmet products benefit from the metal’s density and radiation shielding capabilities.

Our expertise covers metallurgy, materials science, chemical and mechanical engineering, which helps provide customers with support and guidance on manufacturability. We can also 3D print pure tungsten using our revolutionary additive manufacturing process – Wolfmet 3D. It is perfect for the manufacture of high-precision components such as collimators and radiation shields in imaging systems. To find out more visit Wolfmet 3D.

Wolfmet machining capabilities

Machined parts and assemblies

We have three, four and five-axis machining and twin spindle turning utilising live tooling. This allows us to machine complex tungsten alloy parts efficiently and in volume.

 

We are also skilled at integrating Wolfmet tungsten alloy parts with other metal components, such as steel and aluminium. For example we have produced isotope containers with 15 individual parts, including locking mechanisms and multiple seals and syringe shields with lead glass windows.
