Tungsten Heavy Alloy
-
Tungsten alloy counterweight of racing car is now becoming the most popular material for ballast, due to its main advantages as follows:
-
Tungsten alloy(heavy alloy) is ideal for shielding against X rays and gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics. Tungsten alloy radiation shielding is used in applications such as collimator, nuclear shielding, beamstop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multi leaf collimator etc.
-
From the tiny, precise tungsten weights in self-winding watches to the massive, perfectly-balanced rotors on an aircraft, the unique physical properties of tungsten alloy counterweight bring exceptional quality to a variety of applications.
-
Tungsten Vial shield, with a custom made tungsten lid capable of receiving and guiding three needles to pierce the vial septum, to be used with a fully automatic system of dispensing.
-
A counterweight is also used in many rotating systems to reduce vibrations due to imbalances in the rotating assembly. A typical example is counterweights on crankshafts in piston engines.

It is popular for the component needs great heaviness but small capacity, for example: tungsten alloy vibrator in mobile phone , tungsten alloy vibrator for clock
