Tungsten-molybdenum-nickel-iron alloy Application
1. Radiation shielding
Use: absorb and shield high-energy radiation (such as X-rays, gamma rays).
Specific applications:
Medical field: collimators and shielding covers in CT machines and radiotherapy equipment, replacing lead (30%-40% higher absorption capacity, non-toxic).
Nuclear industry: nuclear reactor shielding components, radioactive waste containers.
Industrial testing: radiation protection in non-destructive testing equipment.
Advantages: high density (17-18.5 g/cm³), environmental protection, corrosion resistance.
2. Counterweight and balance
Use: use high density to provide large mass in a small volume for balance or shock absorption.
Specific applications:
Aerospace: aircraft counterweights, satellite gyroscope rotors, helicopter rotor balance parts.
Automotive industry: racing crankshaft counterweights, vibration suppression components.
Sports equipment: golf club heads, dart weights, fishing sinkers.
Advantages: Density is close to pure tungsten (19.25 g/cm³), and processability is better than pure tungsten.
3. Military and defense
Uses: Manufacturing high kinetic energy or penetrating components.
Specific applications:
Armor-piercing cores: such as kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles (APFSDS), which use high density and high hardness to penetrate armor.
Missile components: counterweights or structural parts.
Protective armor: High-density layers in composite armor.
Advantages: High strength, molybdenum-enhanced wear resistance and high-temperature stability.
4. High-temperature industrial tools
Uses: Used in heat-resistant and wear-resistant manufacturing scenarios.
Specific applications:
Mold manufacturing: die-casting molds, hot extrusion molds, suitable for high-temperature metal processing (such as aluminum, copper).
Cutting tools: tool supports or wear-resistant parts.
Heat treatment equipment: fixtures or supports in high-temperature furnaces.
Advantages: Molybdenum improves high temperature performance, has better thermal conductivity than steel (about 5 times), and is durable.
5. Electronics and Mechanical Engineering
Uses: For heat dissipation or vibration control.
Specific applications:
Electronic heat sinks: High-efficiency heat dissipation components in semiconductor equipment.
Vibration suppression: Vibration damping blocks in machine tools and engines.
Electrode materials: Electrodes in resistance welding or discharge machining.
Advantages: Low thermal expansion coefficient (1/2-1/3 of iron), high density, reduced deformation and amplitude.
6. Scientific research and special equipment
Uses: For experiments or high-precision equipment.
Specific applications:
Particle accelerators: Radiation shielding or target materials.
Experimental counterweights: Stable components in high-precision instruments.
Astronomical equipment: Telescope balance blocks.
Advantages: Precisely adjustable density, good chemical stability.
