Tungsten Alloy

Specializing in High Quality Heavy Metal Alloys

Tungsten heavy alloys are ideal for high density applications or for use in radiation shielding. Heavy metal tungsten alloys are 90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron. The addition of these alloying elements improves both the ductility and machinability of these alloys over non-alloyed tungsten.

Custom Alloy Machined Parts

MTS can custom machine any alloys to finished parts according to your specifications. We carry an extensive inventory of tungsten alloys and provide quick turnaround for those items not in stock. Call (1-800-626-0226) or send us a message for more information or with a specific request.

We also manufacture aircraft bucking bars and ballast weights for aircraft, high performance autos, and sailboats made of tungsten alloy.

In addition to the below alloys, we also offer tungsten copper, MT-17D Tungsten DieAlloy (90WNiMoFe) for die casting, MT-17BB (90W 6Ni 4Fe+Cu), as well as other custom alloys. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Please ask for a quote!
