Wolframlegierungsscheibe (W Alloy Disc) Description
The tungsten alloy disc is manufactured from tungsten alloy. Its density is 1.7 times that of Pb. Only gold, platinum and a few other rare metals exhibit a comparable density. By employing a concentrated mass, control over the vehicle’s weight balance is achieved to meet the specified centre of gravity.
Wolfram-Alloy Disc (W Alloy Disc) Application
The disc is one of the commonly produced forms of tungsten alloy products.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) is capable of producing tungsten alloy discs with weights of 2.8 ounces, 3.6 ounces, 3.8 ounces and 4 ounces. These tungsten alloy discs may be used as weights for Kiefer cars and racing vehicles. The product dimensions are 1" x 0.38" with a thickness of 0.52". The tungsten alloy disc is utilised for precise weight calibration. The tungsten alloy disc may also be employed as a match. Heavier pieces of tungsten alloy discs are used in military and other applications.
