Tungsten Carbide ATI is a market leader in manufacturing rough mold, semi-finished and finished cemented tungsten carbide and tungsten heavy alloy components. Our products serve a wide range of industries including aerospace, medical, oil/gas and power generation.
Tungsten Heavy Alloy (DENSALLOY) ATI markets tungsten heavy alloys under the product trademark, ATI DENSalloy®. Its nominal tungsten content ranges from 89% to 97% with the balance primarily of nickel and iron. By adding alloying elements to tungsten, ATI DENSalloy® tungsten has greater ductility and better machinability than pure tungsten. ATI DENSalloy® products are offered as machinable blanks or as finished parts, precision-machined to the customer's specifications and used in many different applications as indicated below.
Tungsten Powder ATI manufactures high quality refractory metal powders in tungsten, tungsten carbide, heavy alloy and molybdenum. Powder production utilizes state-of-the-art automated reduction, carburization, milling and spray drying equipment housed in a 200,000 sq. ft. facility in Alabama. Most products are engineered to the customer's specification. ATI also provides technical manufacturing support for pressing and sintering, as well as full service metallurgical evaluation, chemical analysis, grade application, failure analysis and CVD/PVD coating know-how for our customers.
Infiltrated Tungsten Tungsten-based infiltrated metals, with either copper or silver as infiltrants, have been widely used in industry for many years. The major uses include missile vector control vanes, nozzle and throat materials, missile plume deflector shields, electrical contacts, resistance welding contacts, and porous emitters.
