Global Tungsten Market Size worth over $8.5 billion by 2025

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the tungsten market size will likely surpass $8.5 billion by 2025. Increasing tungsten usage in the production of various alloys will be a major growth enabler for the tungsten market.
 

Tungsten is used as a pure metal or mixed with other metals to make various alloys. These alloys are used in different applications due to characteristics such as flexibility, wear resistance and corrosion. The different types of alloys manufactured by using the product includes heavy metal alloys, superalloys, stellites, etc.
 

Heavy metal alloys are suited for high density applications as they comprise 90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel – iron or nickel – copper. Including these elements help in enhancing both the machinability and ductility of these alloys over non-alloyed tungsten.
 

They are employed as counterweights in helicopter-blades, aircrafts, rotating inertia members, as rigid tools for machining, x-ray and gamma ray radiation shielding, weights in golf club heads, darts, as well as for ordnance purposes. The product when mixed with copper and silver is often known as tungsten-based infiltrated metals.
 

Cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloys are known as stellites. These are corrosion and wear resistant alloys which are used for bearings, valve seats, pistons, and applications where a tough wear resistant material is required. Superalloys are cobalt, nickel or iron-based alloys with high contents of molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, and tantalum.
 

Their vital properties include high creep strength, high-temperature strength, good oxidation resistance, high thermal fatigue resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, good welding properties, air melting capability and ease of casting. Superalloys are used in aircraft engines, turbine blades & vanes in stationary power units, in marine vehicles, exhaust gas assemblies as well as burner liners. They are also used as construction material for furnace parts.
