tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft manufacture technique

tungsten alloycounterweight for aircraft is usually made of WNiFe, WNiCu or WNiFeCu, and added with Co, Cr, Mo, etc. to improve its properties for some other special application by the powder metallurgy technology. nickel-iron or nickel-copper is here added as a binder. Manufactured by powder metallurgy, tungsten alloy sintered material has a high density, high tensile strength of generally up to 900 ~ 1000Mpa, excellent elongation of 20% ~ 30%.

After strengthening through plastic deformation, its strength can be more greatly improved but the ductility will be decreased. The strength of tungsten alloy could be more than 1400Mpa and the elongation could be maintained at about 10% after plastic deformation. Besides, in the mid-1990s, people also use tungsten alloy material manufactured through powder injection molding technology and successfully adopted for civil and counterweight fields. The emergence of powder metallurgy accelerated the development and research of tungsten minerals. It is said that tungsten alloy powder metallurgy technology not only promote the rapid development of tungsten exploitation, but also changed the traditional single metal production status. 

tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft application

tungsten alloycounterweight for aircraft could be used for ballast of airplane, which is also to be called as balance weight, weight balance, balancing. It is almost widely used for military airplane, offering outstanding performance as it needs a lot of weight and has to be packed into tiny spaces. Besides, tungsten alloy counterweight could be also used for automotive, helicopter, engines and wheel weights. The minimum weight requirements of airplane or the engine could give the designers the ability to create much lighter but stronger components in search high performance.

Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircrafts are designed to offset the weight of the rod and pistons, and are critical that the airplanes must be balanced to customized rod and piston combination. As tungsten alloy counterweight has heavy density, so adding tungsten alloy as balance weight into the airplane has good effected in optimizing the performance during the running progress, which contributes to the better control of the plane’s movement. Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft is the best choice for balancing. 

tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft properties

tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft is suitable for balancing in the performance of high specific gravity, high tensile strength, high hardness, good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, good machining characteristics and oxidation resistance. High density is one of the outstanding performances for tungsten alloy counterweight, which has a density generally raging from 16.5g/cm³ to 18.6 g/cm³, which is equivalent to more than twice of the density for steel.

High-density tungsten alloy counterweight for airplane has a certain weight can be increased in the moment of inertia, especially when taking a sudden turn. Tensile strength and high temperature performance ensure tungsten alloy counterweight for airplane inside could make the engine working uninterruptedly under the high temperature and high pressure environment work for a long time, and will not be extended over time and degrade performance. High hardness can greatly extend the size of the plane used, but also saves costs. 

Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraftⅡ

When it comes to military plane or helicopter need counterweight, they usually require only limit capacities for holding the parts, but also need heavy weight, therefore, tungsten alloy material become the most suitable piece for you. as we know, the density of tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft is generally 16.5 ~ 18.6g/cm³, which is equivalent to more than twice of steel density. besides, for its good machniablity, tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft could be machined into various sizes as per special requirement. if you have samples, Chinatungsten could also design and make drawing and mould for you. 

Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft advantage

Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft has high density, so the single weight will be quite heavier than other material at the same size, which becomes the important advantage for working as counterweight. In this way, tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft could improve engine performance and service life of the airplane, so it could make the engine uninterrupted work for a long time and keep its own strength. 

Why choose tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft?

Compared with the traditional material, you could find lead is not so heavy, besides, it is toxic; steel is heavy but the capacity is too large, however, when using tungsten alloy material, you will find excellent properties which are quite different from other material: well hardness, good corrosion resistance, wonderful shock resistance, high temperature resistance and environmental friendly, especially, the properties of small volume but high density, make tungsten alloy material as the top one for counterweight for aircraft. 

Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft

Tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft is also called as ballast, which is made of WNiFe or WNiCu with high density ranges from 17.00g/cm³ to 18.5g/cm³. With its special properties, such as high density but small capacity, good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft could be used for airplane, such as military plane, helicopter, etc. Besides, tungsten alloy counterweight for aircraft could be machined into different sizes as per client's requirements as it is good machinability.
