Short answer: HXSCO supplies tungsten in pure rod, wire and plate plus tungsten-copper heavy alloys and tungsten carbide — the highest-melting, highest-density engineering metal for heat, wear and radiation-shielding duty.
At a Glance
Why Tungsten
Tungsten has the highest melting point (3410 C) and one of the highest densities of any metal, plus exceptional high-temperature strength — context in Metal High Temperature Oxidation Guide, Metal Creep Guide e Metal Thermal Fatigue Guide. It sits in our Refractory Metals Supplier line alongside Nickel Alloy Supplier e Hastelloy Guide for heat-limited service.
Forms & Alloys
We supply pure tungsten rod/wire/plate, tungsten-copper and tungsten-silver heavy alloys for electrical contacts and EDM, and tungsten carbide for tooling. Machining guidance per Metal Machinability Guide e H13 Vs D2 Tool Steel; note tungsten is hard and brittle — relate to Metal Brittle Fracture Guide e Stress Concentration Guide.
Supply & Quality
Lots are verified for density, composition and hardness, documented per Mill Test Certificate Guide, and inspected with Metal Ndt Guide. We advise on the right tungsten form for your duty and protect it per How To Prevent Metal Rust.

Domande frequenti
Pure tungsten rod, wire and plate, tungsten-copper / tungsten-silver heavy alloys, and tungsten carbide for tooling.
High-temperature parts, lamp filaments, EDM wire, electrical contacts, counterweights and radiation shielding.
Around 17 g/cm3 — close to lead but far stronger and machinable, ideal for balancing and shielding.
It is hard and brittle; carbide tooling and careful parameters are needed, planned via machinability and stress-concentration guidance.
HXSCO supplies tungsten with density, composition and hardness documented per mill certificate on request.
