Description:
Tungsten sheets, also known as tungsten foils or tungsten plates, are thin, flat components made from pure tungsten metal. Tungsten is a refractory metal with exceptional properties that make tungsten sheets highly valuable in various applications. Here are some descriptions of tungsten sheets:
High melting point: Tungsten sheets have an extremely high melting point of approximately 3,422 degrees Celsius (6,192 degrees Fahrenheit). This property allows them to withstand extremely high temperatures without melting or deforming, making them ideal for high-temperature applications.
Excellent density: Tungsten is one of the densest elements known, with a density of approximately 19.3 g/cm³. Tungsten sheets exhibit high density, making them valuable in applications that require weight concentration, such as in radiation shielding, aerospace components, and high-performance counterweights.
Superior strength and hardness: Tungsten sheets possess exceptional strength and hardness, even at high temperatures. They exhibit excellent mechanical properties, allowing them to withstand heavy loads and resist deformation. This makes tungsten sheets suitable for applications that require strong and durable components, such as in high-temperature furnace elements and tooling applications.
