TAM 3950 (95W Ni Fe)

Tungsten Alloy


TAM 3950 Tungsten Alloy

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

We stock TAM 3950 in round bar.
