Tungsten is a metal with exceptional and unique properties. It's remarkable hardness and structural strength make it an essential component for industrial applications.

Some of the significant Properties Tungsten are:

1. High melting point

2. High density

3. Hardness close to the diamond

4. Thermal & chemical stability

5. Excellent conductor

The most important use of this metal is as tungsten carbide, which is also known as hard metal. It is used primarily as drilling and cutting tools. Other applications are in electronics and specialist steels. The tungsten is used to produce various categories of products:

1. Around 50% of world’s tungsten is used in the production of cemented carbides.

2. Tungsten carbide is used as cutting, drilling and wear materials.

3. Tungsten is also used to produce specialist steel alloys. These include high-speed steel, heat resistant steel and tool steels, all largely utilized in metal cutting applications.

4. It has specialist engineering applications.

5. It is used to make milling and lathe products such as tungsten rod, sheet, and wire, electrical contacts.

Tungsten alloys have a huge number of applications due to its hardness and ability to withstand heat. It is also used to drill or cut other metals, concrete or rock. It is suitable as a critical component of cutting tools.

These attributes also make Tungsten Products suitable for wear resistant machinery components such as turbine blades, engine valves, ball-point pen tips, etc. Tungsten’s Ceramic Products have high-density properties which make it suitable for a weight or counterbalance in specific machinery applications.
