Umicore offers a comprehensive range of high-quality tungsten powders, available in fine, medium, and coarse sizes from 1.5 µm to 25 µm, with outstanding grain size distribution and minimal impurities. Our portfolio includes ready-to-press high-density powders combining tungsten with nickel, copper, iron or cobalt, and we can produce custom formulations to meet specific needs.
Tungsten’s high density makes it an ideal, non-toxic alternative to lead for radiation shielding and attenuation. It effectively blocks X-rays and gamma rays, making it essential for applications in nuclear medicine, radiography, cancer therapy and nuclear energy plants. Our tungsten powders are versatile, supporting manufacturing methods like press and sinter, metal injection molding, additive manufacturing and use as fillers in various materials.
