Tungsten, Nickel and Copper Alloys
Tungsten, Nickel and Copper Alloys (HD17, HD18)
Tungsten, nickel and copper alloys are particularly useful when magnetic permeability may be an issue. Although the introduction of copper results in lower tensile strength and ductility, the lack of magnetic properties make them an excellent choice for oncology systems, shielding electrical sensors in applications such as well logging, or rotating inertia members used near guidance systems.
