Tungsten based P/M composite materials are outstanding due to high density and good mechanical properties. HPM 1700 to 1850 materials provide a solution in a wide range of applications requiring concentrated weight or density in a limited space. Typical applications include balance weights, radiation protection, vibration absorbers, heat transfer and drilling bars.
