Ferrotungsten

Introduction

Product Overview

Ferrotungsten is a tungsten-based ferroalloy mainly composed of tungsten and iron. It is usually supplied in lump form with high tungsten content and excellent alloying performance.

As an important alloy additive in the steel industry, Ferrotungsten is widely used in the production of special steels, high-speed steels, tool steels, and other high-performance alloys. It helps improve hardness, strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature performance of steel materials.

As a reliable ferroalloy supplier, Tiegu delivers high-quality, standards-compliant ferroalloys to international buyers, ensuring reliable supply and consistent quality across the production chain.

Product Identification

Ferrotungsten is usually supplied in lump form with typical metallic characteristics.

Main appearance features:

Lump shape
Silver-gray surface
Metallic luster

Ferrotungsten is mainly classified according to tungsten content and chemical composition requirements.

Production Process

Ferrotungsten is mainly produced through two production methods:

Electric Furnace Process

Tungsten concentrate, coke, iron scraps, and other raw materials are added into an electric furnace, where reduction reactions occur under high-temperature conditions to produce Ferrotungsten.

Aluminothermic Process

Aluminum reacts with tungsten oxides through an intense exothermic reduction reaction to produce Ferrotungsten.

Common Grades

Common grades:

FeW70
FeW80

Different grades are classified according to tungsten content and chemical composition requirements.

Chemical Composition (Reference)

Applications

Ferrotungsten is widely used in steelmaking, hard alloy production, and high-performance material industries as an important alloy additive.

In the steel industry, Ferrotungsten is mainly used for producing high-speed steel, tool steel, mold steel, and other special steels. It improves hardness, strength, wear resistance, and hot hardness, allowing steel materials to maintain excellent cutting performance and wear resistance even under high-temperature conditions.

In the hard alloy industry, Ferrotungsten is used in the production of carbide cutting tools, drills, molds, and other products. It significantly improves hardness and wear resistance, making these materials suitable for high-speed cutting and machining of difficult-to-process materials.

In addition, Ferrotungsten is also used in some high-temperature alloys, magnetic materials, and electronic components to improve material performance and meet special application requirements.
