W Tungsten Foil
- High Melting Point: Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, around 3,422°C (6,192°F). This makes it perfect for high-temperature applications such as heat shields, aerospace components, and vacuum furnaces.
- Excellent Strength: Tungsten foil exhibits outstanding tensile strength, maintaining its integrity even under stress or at elevated temperatures. This property ensures that it is highly durable and reliable for demanding applications.
- Low Thermal Expansion: Tungsten has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), which means it does not expand or contract significantly when subjected to temperature changes. This is crucial for applications requiring dimensional stability under fluctuating temperatures.
- High Density: With a density of approximately 19.25 g/cm³, tungsten is one of the heaviest metals, giving it excellent mass and stability for a variety of industrial uses.
- Corrosion Resistance: Tungsten is resistant to corrosion in most environments. It is particularly resistant to oxidation, making it suitable for applications in vacuum environments or where high chemical stability is required.
- Biocompatibility: Tungsten is biocompatible and is used in medical implants, surgical tools, and radiation shielding, where its non-reactive nature is a significant advantage.
