Ferro tungsten is an alloy of iron and tungsten with tungsten content of more than 70%. It is a robust alloy because of its high melting point, tungsten has the second highest melting point after carbon. By combining iron with tungsten, the tendencies towards brittleness are overcome as compared to raw tungsten. When added to steel it increased the steel melting point also imparting good conducting properties owing to its unique electrical capabilities.

Applications:
• High speed steel
• Super alloy for turbine blades and other wear resistant coatings and parts.
• Heat sinks, counter weights, ballast kneels
• Commercial aircraft tail ballast, F1 car ballast
• Kinetic energy penetrators
• Supersonic sharpnels
• Game darts & fishing lures.
• Welding electrodes
• Casting
• Directionally sensitive application like suspension bridge
• Alloying of High Strength Low Alloy Steel (HSLA)
• Super conductors
• Nuclear fusion reactor construction
• Aircraft production
