Description
About Tungsten...
Tungsten is a rare natural earth metal. It is classified as a refractory metal due to its very high melting point (3422°C) and low vapor pressure. It also has the highest tensile strength of all metals at temperatures over 1650°C. It is incredibly dense, with a density similar to gold and uranium. In fact, tungsten even means "heavy stone" in Swedish. Tungsten is typically alloyed with other materials because pure tungsten is extremely brittle and difficult to machine.
Tungsten Bucking Bars
Higher density, smaller size, more effective riveting
Midwest Tungsten Services high density ergonomic tungsten bucking bar rivet blocks reduce vibration and kickback while riveting. Repeated vibrations can cause wrist strain and fatigue, and regular steel bucking bars dont fully protect the riveter from the harmful effects. Tungsten, over twice as dense as steel, absorbs the shock, allowing you to rivet more effectively for longer.
- Wide range of sizes and shapes to suit your needs
- Tungsten is 50% more dense than lead and twice as dense as steel
- Promotes health and productivity with reduced wrist strain and fatigue
- Perfect for use in aircraft operations and many other applications
- Smaller size allows for a better fit in tight areas
