Tungsten metal can be bent and formed, but it presents significant challenges due to its physical properties. Tungsten is known for its extremely high melting point (about 3,422°C or 6,192°F) and exceptional hardness, which makes it difficult to work with at room temperature. Best results are achieved by bending across the grain as pure tungsten […]

Precision machining of pure tungsten is challenging due to its unique physical properties. Tungsten has a very high melting point (around 3,422°C or 6,192°F), excellent hardness, and brittleness at room temperature, which make it difficult to machine using conventional methods. Produced via the powder metallurgy process, pure tungsten metal exhibits stratified layers and grain directions […]
