Tungsten powders

Tungsten powder is used as a raw material in a wide range of applications such as hard materials, radiation-shielding high-density materials, electric contact materials, high-temperature furnace heaters, spray coating materials, various rods and sheets and others. They are also used for combustion accelerators for carbon analysis or metallizing materials.

Molybdenum powders

Molybdenum powder is used as a raw material in a wide range of applications such as metallizing material, spray coating materials, wires for electronics use, rods and plates, various high-temperature parts and materials, high-temperature furnace heaters, glass melting electrodes, nuclear power plant materials and so on.

Tungsten has a melting point as high as 3387°C. Tungsten metal is obtained in the form of powder from tungsten oxides by hydrogen reduction. Tungsten changes color at each stage of reduction.
