Tungsten Forging

Tungsten Forging Specialists for Military and High-Tech Applications

 

Harnessing Tungsten’s Unique Properties

Tungsten’s hardness and density make it ideal for military applications, such as kinetic energy penetrating projectiles, and numerous high-tech commercial applications. These properties stem from its exceptional metallurgical characteristics. Although the development of tungsten forging and its alloys began in the 1960s for aerospace applications, only a select few domestic forgers have mastered working with this challenging material.
