"Tungsten cube popular does not help heavy metal suppliers make money" as reported by electronic media on November 12, 2021.
The so-called tungsten cube mentioned in the report is our common cube or called square, although the report does not specify what kind of material tungsten, even if the metal tungsten, or high-gravity its alloy or carbide material processing made of tungsten cube, or W-Cu alloy, W-Ag alloy, and even tungsten gold alloy made of the cube, No matter how much tungsten it contains, its cost depends on its size, because the larger size and its alloy processing is extremely difficult, so cost is very high, most likely the same size of steel and other metals cost ten times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times, which does not mean that its value must be very high unless it has unique and significant needs, or its alloy made of cubes, other metals, such as gold, high content.
Tungsten and its alloys are not processed as conventional metals. They are called refractory metals, that is, their melting point is particularly high, reaching more than 3000 degrees, which is several times that of ordinary metals. Therefore, one of the reasons for the high price of its products is the high processing temperature, followed by its alloys, especially hard alloy, it has high hardness and is the hardest material other than a diamond, so machining is very difficult. In addition, Because the special powder metallurgy processing technology of tungsten alloy needs complex processes such as powder making, mold, pressing, sintering, and machining, its processing cost is much higher than that of general metals, and the market price is also very high.
Nearly 80% of the world's tungsten raw materials are from China, China's tungsten smelting technology is also the world's leading because tungsten products are also extremely widely used, so many new technologies are inseparable from its products; In addition, its alloys are widely used in military, aerospace, its communication, nuclear energy construction, medical equipment, dart fishing and other sports fields, rings, and other handicraft fields, and their applications are still being studied and discovered.
According to our many years of design and production experience, we are well aware of almost all uses of tungsten products, as well as its production complexity and difficulties, especially due to our many years of experience in serving the international market.
