Tungsten

Tungsten has excellent high-temperature properties including the highest melting point of all metals and the lowest thermal expansion of all pure metals, and is used in many high-temperature applications. Its extreme hardness causes excessive tool wear, and its brittleness makes the material prone to chipping and cracking during and after machining. Therefore, it requires special handling and machining techniques. ANOK PRECISION has provided custom-machined parts to customers in a wide range of industries in complex and precision machining of tungsten.
