Ferrotungsten Parameters

Ferrotungsten classification

An iron alloy whose main components are tungsten and iron. It also contains manganese, silicon, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, copper, tin and other impurities, and is an alloying agent used in steelmaking. According to the different tungsten content, ferrotungsten is divided into: FeW75 (containing W70%~80%, C≤0.20%, P≤0.04%, S≤0.08%, Si≤0.5%, Mn≤0.25%) and FeW80 (containing W75 .0%~85.0%, C≤0.20%, P≤O.04%, S≤0.08%, Si≤0.7%, Mn≤0.25%).

Properties and uses of ferrotungsten

Tungsten is a silver-gray metal. The atomic weight is 183.85. Electronic structure 4f145d46s2. Density (20℃) 19.3g/cm3. Melting point 3400℃. Boiling point 5555℃. Tungsten forms solid solutions with iron and two intermetallic compounds Fe2W and Fe3W2 or Fe7W6, but they are unstable at high temperatures. The melting temperature of ferrotungsten containing 75%~85% W is higher than 2500°C, so it cannot be released from the furnace and can only be produced by the accumulation method or the iron extraction method. The density of industrial ferrotungsten is about 15.3g/cm3.

Application areas of ferrotungsten

Ferrotungsten is used as an additive to tungsten in steelmaking and casting. Tungsten is one of the most important alloying elements in the production of special steels. Tungsten can not only reduce the elongation of steel to a small extent, but also increase the strength limit and yield point of steel. It can also improve the hardness and wear resistance of steel. Of particular importance is the good influence tungsten has on the high-temperature mechanical properties of steel, improving heat resistance and tempering stability.
