Ferrotungsten (FeW)
Ferrotungsten (FeW) is an alloy of iron and tungsten, typically containing 70% to 85% tungsten. It is used to impart exceptional strength and high heat resistance to specialized steels.
Product Type: Ferroalloy
Features & Benefits:
- Durability
- Brittleness resistance
- Hardness
- Wear resistance
- Red hardness
Applications areas:
- Ferrotungsten (FeW) is used to increase the durability of iron by overcoming its brittleness, while simultaneously increasing its hardness, wear resistance, and red hardness (maintains strength at high temperatures).
Physical Properties:
-
AppearanceGrey to dark-grey metallic material
-
Physical formFine-grained solid lumps of 50-100 mm
-
OdorOdorless
-
DensityVery high density due to the heavy tungsten content
-
Melting Pointapprox. 1648°C to 2750°C depending on the grade
