Tungsten Powder is spheroidal in shape and gray in color. Advanced Refractory Metals manufactures tungsten powder for use in electrical contacts, airbag deployment systems, and as the beginning material in tungsten mill products and wire.
Tungsten powder is a fine, gray metallic powder made from high-purity tungsten. It is known for its extremely high melting point (3422°C), high density, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and exceptional hardness. Typically produced through hydrogen reduction of tungsten oxides, this powder is essential for applications requiring heat resistance, strength, and durability. It serves as a key raw material in powder metallurgy for manufacturing tungsten-based components, including filaments, electrodes, electrical contacts, and heavy metal alloys. Tungsten powder is available in various particle sizes and purities to suit specific industrial and technical requirements.
