TAM 3950 is a high density tungsten alloy used in ballast and balancing applications.
Ballast & Balancing
TAM 3950 (95W-Ni-Fe) is a tungsten alloy product containing 95% tungsten, 3.5% nickel and 1.5% iron. It is a high-density material used in applications in industries such as aerospace and motorsport as ballast and in balancing components.
Suitability
TAM 3950 is slightly magnetic and has superior tensile strength (870N/mm²). With a density of 18.00 gm/cm³, the alloy is resistant to acids and therefore is suitable for hostile environments. With low coefficient of expansion and low thermal conductivity, TAM 3950 benefits from high resistance to thermal fatigue.
Typical Applications
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
Balance weights
Ballast
Weight reduction applications
Aerospace and motorsport
