TUNGSTEN GRADES

With densities up to 18.5gcm, Wolfmet grades are the prime choice for adding balance weights, ballast or vibration damping mass where space is limited. The high density of Wolfmet tungsten alloy also delivers effective radiation shielding, particularly against X-ray and gamma radiation.

We also provide a specialist Wolfmet tungsten alloy grade (HM 490) for hot metal applications, which offers good hot wear resistance.

All Wolfmet tungsten alloy grades are reasonably corrosion resistant in both acid and alkaline environments and can easily be plated or painted if necessary. They are easy to clean, non-toxic and non-radioactive.

Magnetic tungsten alloy

Manufactured with a binder of iron and nickel, our magnetic alloys have a tungsten content of 90-97% by weight. These are suitable for many situations where a high density material is required.

Non-magnetic tungsten alloys

For non-magnetic alloys, copper and nickel are the binding agents, with a tungsten content in the range of 90-95%. These non-ferromagnetic alloys are used in a variety of applications, including medical scanners.

Technical data

Wolfmet tungsten alloy conforms to the internationally recognised standard ASTM B777-15 and AMS7725F. The non-magnetic Wolfmet grades have been proven to be non-magnetic through independent tests.
