Tungsten alloy sheet, with densities between 16.9 and 18.1 g/cm3, means it is the heaviest metal materials. It has excellent radiation resistance, thermal and electric conductivities, corrosion resistance and merchantable. We offer sheets with tungsten contents ranging from 85 to 98 with wide range of physical and mechanical properties including W-Ni-Fe and non-magnetic W-Ni-Cu alloy. It is a safer and non-toxic substitution to lead. Moreover, higher density also enables alloy sheets to protect from radiation better, even under extreme conditions. While depleted uranium offers comparable density, tungsten alloy volatile nature and the special licensing requirements needed for radioactive materials makes working with it difficult.
The thickness of tungsten alloy sheet products are as follows:
Foil - a thickness of less than 0.005 inches. (0.13 mm).
Sheet - thickness more than or equal to 0.005 inches (0.13 mm) or less than or equal to 0.187 inches (4.75 mm).
Plate - thickness greater than or equal to 0.188 inches (4.75 mm).
