Custom Tungsten Heavy Alloy Products
Custom tungsten heavy-alloy blanks, counterweights, balance parts and shielding geometries. Specify W–Ni–Fe or W–Ni–Cu, density requirements, drawing and functional duty for a tailored quotation.
Tungsten Heavy Alloy: material & procurement overview
Tungsten heavy alloys contain a high tungsten fraction with a metallic binder system. Our materials cover tungsten-nickel-iron and tungsten-nickel-copper parts, including machined ring and circular geometries. They are different from pure tungsten, tungsten-copper composites and cemented carbide. Start with the function, required density and exact alloy designation.
Binder-system selection
W–Ni–Fe and W–Ni–Cu have different characteristics. Identify magnetic and process requirements explicitly.
Custom functional geometry
A finished ring, balance part and shielding component require different dimensional and acceptance checks.
Material properties & grade reference
| Property / specification | Reference or selection | Procurement meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Material systems | W–Ni–Fe / W–Ni–Cu | Name binder system and material grade |
| Brochure density overview | 16.8–18.6 g/cm³ | General family range; actual grade density requires agreement |
| Magnetic behaviour | Binder-system dependent | Specify any magnetic-permeability requirement and required verification |
| Mechanical properties | Composition and processing dependent | State tensile, ductility or hardness criteria only where needed |
| Component geometry | Drawing-based | Critical mass, centre of gravity, holes, fits and interfaces |
Reference basis: Our product brochure, printed pages 12–13. These values or composition examples describe the material family. They are not guaranteed values for every delivered grade or finished component.
Material density alone does not validate a radiation-shielding design. Any shielding performance must be established for the equipment and radiation conditions by the responsible engineering review. The brochure range is a reference, not a guarantee for every grade.
Applications & design inputs
Connect the material choice to the finished component: identify the process, contact surfaces, operating conditions and critical assembly interfaces.
Use the examples below to prepare a drawing-based enquiry. Final material suitability and achievable geometry are reviewed for your project.
Counterweights & balance parts
Define target mass, mass tolerance, centre-of-gravity requirement and fixing details.
Industrial shielding geometries
Supply radiation type, equipment layout and an approved shielding design; a material page does not validate attenuation.
Custom machined parts
Mark fits, contact surfaces, mechanical requirements and the selected alloy condition.
Tell us which surfaces contact the process, which dimensions control fit, and what documentation the project requires. An application example is a starting point for a specification; final suitability is reviewed against your actual conditions.
Custom product forms & specifications
| Order input | Custom scope | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Material and grade | Plate, rod, blanks, counterweights, rings and drawing-based shielding geometries | Exact grade, standard, chemistry and delivered condition |
| Dimensions and features | Length, width, thickness, diameter or part geometry | Drawing revision, critical tolerances, interfaces and machining allowance |
| Surface and fabrication | Finish, cleaning, cutting or machining requirements | Mark acceptance surfaces, joining details and any permitted process route |
| Duty and documentation | Operating conditions, quantity and required checks | Include material documents, dimensional inspection, destination and requested schedule |
From your drawing to an agreed manufacturing scope
01 · Define — Send the grade, drawing and function, with unknown details clearly marked.
02 · Review — Discuss geometry, processing, surface condition and critical inspection requirements.
03 · Agree — Confirm quotation scope, documentation, packaging and delivery requirements before production.
Our material range and manufacturing photographs support drawing-based project enquiries. Achievable dimensions, material properties and inspection scope are reviewed for the actual grade and part; the photographs do not define a fixed stock item.
Tungsten Heavy Alloy procurement questions
Is tungsten heavy alloy the same as pure tungsten?
No. Heavy alloys use tungsten with a binder system. Specify the exact alloy and grade rather than applying pure tungsten’s properties to the finished part.
Can you quote non-standard forms and dimensions?
Send your drawing or initial dimensions, material grade, quantity and component function. We review the required geometry and finishing together. State whether you need a material blank or a finished component.
Do the reference values define the delivered specification?
No. Use the exact grade and agreed order requirements. Tell us which material tests and inspection records you need so their scope and acceptance criteria can be included in the quotation.
Request a tungsten heavy alloy products quotation
Send your grade, drawing, dimensions, quantity and operating conditions to sales@bomometals.com. Include the delivery country, requested schedule and required inspection documents.
A sketch or description can start the discussion. The finished specification, manufacturing route and quotation terms are agreed for your project.
