Due to a particularly high surface to volume ratio, the formation of a surface oxide layer and the single crystal nature of such material, the mechanical properties differ fundamentally from those of bulk tungsten. [117] Such tungsten nanowires have potential applications in nanoelectronics and importantly as pH probes and gas sensors. [118]
Tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC) is a chemical compound (specifically, a carbide) containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes through sintering [7] for use in industrial machinery, engineering facilities, [8] molding blocks, [9] cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor ...
The tantalum–tungsten alloys are characterized by their high melting point and the tension resistance. The properties of the final alloy are a combination of properties from the two elements: tungsten, the element with the highest melting point in the periodic table, and tantalum which has high corrosion resistance. [1] [2]
Tungsten's high density and strength are also key properties for its use in weapon projectiles, for example as an alternative to depleted Uranium for tank gun rounds. [23] Its high melting point makes tungsten a good material for applications like rocket nozzles, for example in the UGM-27 Polaris. [24]
Tungsten steel is any steel that has tungsten as its alloying element with characteristics derived mostly from the presence of this element (as opposed to any other element in the alloy). Common alloys have between 2% and 18% tungsten by weight along with small amounts of molybdenum and vanadium which together create an alloy with exceptional ...
Tungsten trioxide is a starting material for the synthesis of tungstates. Barium tungstate BaWO 4 is used as a x-ray screen phosphors . Alkali metal tungstates, such as lithium tungstate Li 2 WO 4 and cesium tungstate Cs 2 WO 4 , give dense solutions that can be used to separate minerals. [ 1 ]
Tungsten disulfide nanotubes have been investigated as reinforcing agents to improve the mechanical properties of biodegradable polymeric nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering applications. [24] Addition of ~0.02 weight % of tungsten disulfide nanotubes significantly improved the compression and flexural mechanical properties of poly ...
Tungsten has several oxidation states, and therefore oxides: Tungsten(III) oxide; Tungsten(IV) oxide, also known as tungsten dioxide; Tungsten(VI) oxide, also known as tungsten trioxide; Tungsten pentoxide
