Tungsten block
Tungsten block as a counterweight is widely used in many industries, mainly because tungsten has the characteristics of high density and high melting point, which makes it a very ideal counterweight material. The following is the use of tungsten blocks in different industries and their specific uses:
1. Aerospace
In the aerospace field, tungsten blocks are often used in aircraft and spacecraft counterweight adjustment. Due to the extremely high weight distribution requirements of aircraft and spacecraft, tungsten's high density allows it to provide the required weight in a limited space, thus ensuring the balance and stability of the aircraft. Tungsten block is usually used in flight control system counterweight, wing tip counterweight, tail counterweight and other parts. In addition, in the satellite, tungsten blocks are also used to adjust the center of mass to ensure precise attitude control of the satellite in space.
2. The automotive industry
In the high-performance and racing sectors, tungsten blocks are used as body weights to help adjust the car's centre of gravity and improve its stability and handling at high speeds. In F1 cars and other motorsports, tungsten counterweights are placed in key positions such as chassis and axles to enhance the balance and handling ability of the vehicle. Due to the small size and large weight of tungsten blocks, the use of tungsten blocks can effectively reduce the total weight and improve the acceleration performance.
3. Marine and Ocean Engineering
In the shipbuilding industry, tungsten blocks are used for the keel weight of ships. When the ship travels in the water, it needs to adjust the balance of the hull by counterweight to prevent capsizing. Tungsten block as keel weight, can effectively reduce the ship's center of gravity, enhance the stability of navigation. In addition, tungsten blocks are also used as counterweights for Marine equipment such as submersibles.
4. Sports equipment
Tungsten blocks are also widely used in the weight of sports equipment, such as golf clubs, darts, bowling balls, fishing gear and so on. In the design of golf clubs, tungsten blocks can increase the weight of the club head and the stability of the shot; Darts and bowling balls use the high-density properties of tungsten blocks to increase weight and improve stability and accuracy when throwing.
5. Medical devices
In the medical field, tungsten blocks are used for the counterweight of radiation therapy equipment, such as gamma knives, linear accelerators and other equipment, tungsten blocks ensure the balance and stability of the equipment through accurate counterweight. In addition, tungsten blocks are also used for radiation shielding in radiation therapy equipment because of their high density, which can effectively block rays.
6. Oil and gas industry
In the drilling industry, especially in the drilling process of oil and gas, tungsten blocks are used as counterweights for drilling equipment to increase the pressure of the drill bit, help the equipment to better enter the formation and improve drilling efficiency. The high density of the tungsten block allows it to withstand extremely high pressures during drilling.
Mosten Alloy can produce tungsten sheet, tungsten block, tungsten foil, tungsten rod, tungsten wire, tungsten cup, tungsten processing workpiece according to customer demand.
