Ferro Tungsten Powder (Fe/W) Description
Ferro Tungsten is an alloy created by combining iron and tungsten, available in two grades: Grade A (75%-82% tungsten) and Grade B (70%-75% tungsten). This robust alloy benefits from tungsten's exceptionally high melting point, second only to carbon. The addition of iron mitigates the brittleness inherent in raw tungsten, making Ferro Tungsten a key component in many popular superalloys.
