Tungsten heavy alloy for aerospace
Tungsten heavy alloy is ideal for producing balance weights and ballast for use on an aircraft. This is due to its extremely high density, which allows for the smallest possible weights to be used. This attribute can be particularly valuable in situations where a mass has to be contained within a confined space, and can ultimately reduce the overall amount of weight used as it can be positioned more favorably.
Tantalum for aerospace
Tantalum based alloy and other superalloys which has tantalum as alloy additive are typically used as a high temperature structural materials and corrosion resistant materials for the production of aerospace plane, rockets, submarines, and other engine parts, such as the combustion chamber, combustion duct, turbo pumps, rocket nozzle accelerator, spacecraft propulsion and augmentor nozzle valves.
Niobium for aerospace
Aerospace industry is the main application field of high-purity niobium, mainly used in the production of rocket engine components and heat-resistant spacecraft. Heat resisting alloys of niobium and its alloy exhibit good thermal transfer properties and mechanical performance, are widely used in the manufacture of aircraft engine parts and gas turbine blades. In theUnited Statesalmost all fighter jets hot parts of the engine are used niobium alloys.
