Elmet is the only fully integrated US-owned and managed production and a leading global supplier of high-quality Pure Tungsten Sheet products. Cold-rolled sheet products from Elmet are available in a variety of thicknesses and lengths. Our sheet is made using the same process as the rest of our products: metal powder is first compressed into ingots, sintered, and then rolled. Through the procedure, we can modify the product to satisfy the unique material and/or performance needs of customers, ensuring peak performance in your application. Elmet provides customers with a large selection of hot-rolled tungsten plate and cold-rolled tungsten sheet products in different thicknesses and lengths.
State Of The Surfaces
Depending on the thickness and breadth dimensions, the tungsten sheet surface can be delivered in a glossy, matte, satin, or as-rolled condition.
Heat Treatments
Flat goods made of molybdenum and tungsten are rolled and annealed to create the ideal conditions for the intended end application (Furnace, Punch, Deep Draw).
Is Tungsten Available in Sheets?
The sheet is a tungsten flat substance with a thickness ranging from 0.060′′ to 0.090′′. Plate refers to tungsten flat material 0.10′′ and larger. Tungsten sheet is used in a wide range of applications, including sintering boats, high-temperature furnace components, and heat shields.
What Is The Strength of Raw Tungsten?
Tungsten is one of the most powerful natural metals (142,000 psi). Tungsten, on the other hand, is fragile and prone to shattering. Tungsten has a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale.
Is Tungsten More Powerful Than Gold?
Tungsten is approximately 10 times harder than gold and has a hardness rating of nine on the Mohs scale. On the Mohs scale of hardness, a diamond is a 10.
Pure Tungstens Common Applications
Lighting.
Tungsten has long been utilized as a filament in typical incandescent light bulbs. These light bulbs have gradually been replaced by fluorescent and, more recently, LED lights because of their low energy efficiency, excessive heat generation, and limited service life.
High-temperature alloys and furnace parts
Wrought and its alloys are employed in many high-temperature applications due to their high melting points and strength, including arc-welding electrodes, heating elements and shields in high-temperature vacuum furnaces, and turbine blades in generators and aircraft engines.
Targets for X-rays
Tungsten is the most commonly utilized target material in x-ray production. Tungsten has a high atomic number, which boosts x-ray intensity at a given voltage and current. Because of its high melting point, the x-ray anode can become white-hot.
Radiation protection.
Tungsten alloy, which combines the benefits of high density, strong radiation absorption, high melting point, and superior corrosion resistance, is an ideal material for radiation shielding.
Armor penetrator
To destroy enemy targets, the weapon employs the kinetic energy of a projectile. This energy is proportional to the mass and velocity attained when reaching the target (terminal velocity). The mass is affected by density, and the terminal velocity is affected by both density and melting temperature. Tungsten has both benefits.
