Plansee tungsten heavy metal alloys now available online

The shop already offers metal sheets, rods, wires and finished products made of molybdenum, tungsten and tantalum.

DENSIMET is a tungsten heavy alloy with a tungsten content of more than 90% and is used in all applications where a material with especially high density is required. Due to the nickel-iron-binder phase, DENSIMET is significantly more machinable than pure tungsten, according to Plansee. It  is particularly suitable for the production of balancing weights in mechanical engineering and automotive applications, as well as shielding material against X-rays and gamma rays. Due to the high modulus of elasticity, DENSIMET tool holders and boring bars are used for the low-vibration machining of resilient materials. 

DENSIMET rods are available online in diameters from 3 mm to 110 mm from here.
