Tungsten machined part

A tungsten machined part refers to a component made from tungsten through machining processes. Tungsten is a rare and dense metal with one of the highest melting points of all metals. It’s often used in applications where high strength, durability, and resistance to extreme temperatures are required.

Machining involves shaping raw materials into finished parts through various processes like cutting, drilling, milling, turning, and grinding. Tungsten’s hardness and brittleness can make it challenging to machine compared to other materials. Therefore, specialized tools and techniques are often required to achieve precise shapes and dimensions.

Tungsten machined parts find applications in industries such as aerospace, defense, electronics, and high-temperature environments. Examples include electrodes for welding, components for high-temperature furnaces, rocket nozzles, radiation shielding, and electrical contacts in high-voltage applications.

Manufacturing tungsten machined parts requires expertise in both tungsten properties and machining techniques to ensure quality and precision in the final products.
