Properties and Appearance Tungsten is a rare element with the symbol W (for Wolfram) and atomic number 74. Workable once purified, Tungsten is a lustrous soft gray color. It belongs to the refractory metals and is a heavy, dense metal. High-density applications and those needing heavy radiation shielding use Heavy Metal Tungsten alloys. Tungsten has excellent ductility and machinability when alloyed with nickel and copper or nickel and iron. High-temperature environments where corrosion resistance and strength is a must benefit from using Heavy Metal Tungsten Alloy. Aircraft and aerospace, radiation shielding for scientific and medical projects, and the oil and gas industry all use Tungsten. See more..

Tungsten and Rhenium individually have good ductility and strength. Adding rhenium to tungsten to create Tungsten-Rhenium alloy increases ductility, specific resistance, and vibration strength. Tungsten-Rhenium is widely used in thermocouples but has seen a recent surge in demand for its high-temperature strengths. Tungsten-Rhenium Properties Tungsten Rhenium alloy has a high melting point and is strong and hard, Tungsten Rhenium also has high resistivity making it suitable for electrical uses. Chemical Composition Element Content(%) Tungsten (W) 75% Rhenium (Re) 25% Tungsten-Rhenium Applications Examples of Tungsten-Rhenium uses: Thermocouples Joining Medical applications Aerospace Electronics Furnace Temperature measuring and high-heat industries Vulcan Metal Group supplies Tungsten-Rhenium wire, sheet, rod and powder See more..
