MIW to Make Tungsten Alloy Cube

Since tungsten metal is hard to be machined, the common remotion process could not make it perfect. But Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is an ideal manufacture process to making tungsten alloy cubes. MIM is suitable to manufacture the metal and ceramic component with the property of complex three-dimensional structure, high density, high rigidity, high precision, etc. The smaller, more precise, more complex, MIM have more advantage, the density comes 95%-98%. The high density of WHAs makes it possible to significantly reduce the physical size of components. This in turn, gives the benefit of greater control of weight distribution and increases the sensitivity of controlling mechanisms. Where a large mass must be housed within a restricted area, tungsten alloys are the ideal material.

Why Use Tungsten Alloy Shot?

High density, great hardness and resistance to high temperature make tungsten to be one of the most sought-after materials for shotgun pellets in shooting history. The density of tungsten alloy is about 18g/cm3, only gold, platinum, and a few other rare metals have a similar density. So tungsten alloy shot is denser than any other shot material, including lead, steel or bismuth. To understand how the density factors into performance, let’s look at two spheres about the same size, a golf ball and a ping-pong ball. The golf ball is far denser and will fly farther and hit harder. Now reduce that size down to two single No. 4 pellets, one steel and the other a tungsten alloy. Get the picture? The tungsten will fly farther, hit harder and penetrate deeper. That means more birds, farther out, with fewer cripples. Another unique property of tungsten is that it is non-toxic, it is friendly to the environment, so it is safe for people to handle and work with.
