Tungsten
With a melting point of 3,422°C, tungsten withstands more heat than any other metal. Its high density (19.3 g/cm³) and retained strength at high temperature make it a key material for the semiconductor, aerospace, energy and medical industries.

Tungsten
It has the highest melting point of any practical metal, and a density 1.7 times that of lead. Where a vacuum furnace heating element above 2000°C and radiation shielding are needed at once, no metal replaces tungsten.

The metal that remains in the hottest positions
It holds its shape in vacuum furnace heating elements and high-temperature jigs above 2000°C. In that temperature range tungsten is effectively the only option.
At 19.3 g/cm³ it blocks more radiation at the same thickness. It is used in shielding parts for medical and inspection equipment.
Dimensions do not wander through repeated heating and cooling, which makes tolerance control easy on precision parts.
Key Properties
The dimensions listed are the range we can supply. Final feasibility depends on the combination of grade, quantity and tolerance and on the material condition you request, so send us a drawing and we will confirm and reply.
