Tungsten blocks (pure tungsten or high-density alloys) deliver unmatched performance in extreme environments due to their:

• Ultra-high density (19.3 g/cm³) 
• Highest melting point of metals (3,422℃) 
• Exceptional hardness & corrosion resistance

Key Applications: 

✔️ High-Temperature Industrial → Crucibles/thermal shields for sapphire growth & semiconductor smelting → Rocket nozzle throats (>3,000℃ gas erosion resistance) → TIG welding electrodes (2x longer lifespan vs. standard)

✔️ Defense & Aerospace → Kinetic energy penetrators (eco-friendly alternatives to depleted uranium) → Gyroscope counterweights in missiles/satellites

✔️ Radiation Shielding → Compact γ-ray shields (30% smaller than lead equivalents) for medical/nuclear

✔️ Hardtech & Energy → Primary material for carbide cutting tools (60% global tungsten use) → Plasma-facing components in fusion reactors (e.g., ITER) → Sputtering targets for semiconductor metallization

✔️ Precision Engineering → Vibration-damping weights in F1 crankshafts & CNC spindles → Deep-earth drilling tools with unmatched wear resistance

Why Tungsten Reigns Supreme:

Industrial Note: Processing challenges (powder metallurgy/arc melting required) limit use to high-value applications. As China drives 60%+ of global supply, R&D focuses on next-gen tungsten solutions for aerospace, fusion energy & microelectronics.
