Tungsten is alloyed with steel to form tough metals that are stable at high temperatures. Tungsten-steel alloys are used to make such things as high speed cutting tools and rocket engine nozzles. Tungsten carbide (WC) is an extremely hard tungsten compound. It is used in the tips of drill bits, high speed cutting tools and in mining machinery.

Feb 22, 2009 · IANAL but tungsten cores machined to a point would almost certainly qualify as armor piercing and be subject to existing restrictions on manufacture. However bullets with tungsten powder cores or solid-slug cores (i.e., a flat-faced tungsten cylinder) should not pose a risk of such classification or regulation.

The Element Tungsten - Known Isotopes. Most of the isotope data on this site has been obtained from the National Nuclear Data Center.

Apr 23, 2010 · Re: tungsten bullets WARNING GRAPHIC different kinds of Tungsten rounds. Powdered (sintered) and pressed under lots of pressure and sometimes some form of bonding agent (glue) "exploding type", next is a tungsten penetrator that uses a sub caliber bullet inside a jacketed bullet AP, and also shotgun style that is either tungsten balls or a tungsten ball with …

The tungsten trioxide is then heated with either carbon or hydrogen gas to form the pure metal. This is the reaction if tungsten trioxide is heated with carbon: 2WO 3 + 3C + heat → 2W + 3CO 2 (tungsten trioxide combines with carbon to form tungsten metal and carbon dioxide) This is the reaction if tungsten trioxide is heated with hydrogen gas:

Apr 22, 2019 · Fifteen years ago when moly coating bullets was common I tried Tungsten disulfide known in the shooting world as Danzak. It is far superior to moly lubricants for all applications. It is available both as a dry powder or in suspension with oil or grease.

Aug 20, 2012 · Getting an AR10, going to make a heavy rifle buffer. Purchased a bottle dog ear tipping weight tungsten. It was the best price for pure tungsten, $14 for 3 ounces of powdered tungsten. Going to take the AR10 buffer apart and put the powdered tungsten in. Hoping for another two to three ounces. Heavy AR10 buffers are VERY EXPENSIVE ($125).

Mar 14, 2014 · , all buffers have a series of weights inside of them. Varying combinations of steel and tungsten weights and spacers determine the total buffer weight. You don't mention what caliber and stock configuration you are working with. The article I linked to doesn't address the AR10 buffers but there are 2 different lengths depending on the stock setup.

Rhenium is used in flash lamps for photography and for filaments in mass spectrographs and ion gages, but is most frequently used as an alloying agent in tungsten and molybdenum and as a catalyst for performing certain reactions to a type of hydrocarbon known as an olefin.

Aug 5, 2010 · Read the OPs post, he wants a hunting rifle. Browning is heavily discounting the original X-Bolt for the new 2 series, doesn't change the fact that the Browning is a better deal and most likely a better shooter with a 7 twist barrel than the Tikka in 6.5 PRC.
