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.
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.
