Ultrafine Tungsten Powder: High-Purity, Micron-Scale Refractory Metal Powder
Tungsten boasts the highest melting point (3,410°C), extremely high density (19.35 g/cm³), outstanding high‑temperature strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a core raw material for cemented carbides, electronic components, high‑temperature alloys, and specialty coatings. TIJO’s ultrafine tungsten powder is produced using a multi‑stage reduction process combined with precision classification, achieving a tungsten content of ≥99.95% (with total impurities ≤0.05%). The product is offered primarily in particle sizes of 2.0–2.4 μm and 0.8–1.0 μm, featuring a narrow particle size distribution, a large specific surface area, and high sintering activity. The product fully complies with the national standard GB/T 3458‑2006, with trace impurities such as Fe, Al, Si, Mg, Mn, Ni, As, Pb, Bi, Sn, Sb, Cu, Ca, Mo, K+Na, P, and C all maintained at exceptionally low levels. It is widely used in the production of tungsten carbide powders (for cemented carbide cutting tools and mining equipment), large tungsten billets and rods, tungsten‑rhenium thermocouple wires, as well as in the electronics industry for diode and vacuum tube cathodes and anodes, refractory material additives, and high‑temperature protective coatings. Customization is available to meet specific customer requirements.
