Tungsten Rolling
Elmet Technologies provides tungsten rolling services for a wide range of pure and alloyed materials to support high-performance applications. We leverage decades of expertise in engineering and advanced manufacturing. Tungsten is known for its exceptional density, strength, and heat resistance. Elmet delivers high-performance solutions tailored to meet the demands of challenging applications across multiple industries, such as aerospace, defense, energy, and more.
We utilize a fully integrated manufacturing process, beginning with high-purity tungsten metal powder to guarantee exceptional quality and consistency. Using advanced metal rolling techniques, we produce tungsten plate, sheet, and foil with both precision and versatility. These materials are offered as standalone mill products or can serve as inputs for our cutting-edge fabrication and machining services. Contact our dedicated toll services team to discuss your rolling needs.
Tungsten Rolling Capabilities
We operate 9 specialized rolling mills, optimized for tungsten and tungsten alloys, with exceptional dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength. Our capacity and flexibility allows us to produce various tungsten flat products that meet the most exacting performance and reliability standards. Our tungsten rolling capabilities include:
- Standard Mill Products: High-quality tungsten flat products (plate, sheet, and foil).
- Custom Rolling: Supporting prototype development and large-scale production.
Elmet Technologies works closely with its customers to fine-tune material properties like ductility, tensile strength, and hardness. We optimize every piece for its intended application, ensuring durability and reliability.
Tungsten Alloys for Specialized Applications
Elmet Technologies offers advanced tungsten alloys tailored to meet specific performance needs. Our lanthanum-doped tungsten (WLa) exhibits enhanced high-temperature performance, characterized by improved creep resistance and strength. Tungsten heavy alloys (WHA) offer exceptional density, ideal for applications such as radiation shielding, balance weights, and kinetic energy penetrators. Potassium-doped tungsten (WK) is engineered for high-temperature, non-sag uses in industries such as lighting and electronics, offering superior strength and machinability.
