Tungsten alloy ship counterweight
As a ship's counterweight, high-density tungsten alloy is a component that provides resistance to lateral forces during navigation for yachts, sailboats, submarines, etc. Due to its high density, no pollution, and wear resistance, high-density tungsten alloy can be used in narrow spaces and is the preferred material for ship counterweights.
The ship is not heavy enough in water and is prone to capsizing, especially in strong winds, so high-density materials are needed for counterweights. When the cargo carried by the sailing vessel reaches a specific port, the cargo will be unloaded. In order to maintain the verticality of the ship, it is necessary to install some high-density materials for counterweights, and high-density tungsten alloy materials are the best choice.
In large modern ships, the keel is often made of high-density tungsten alloy materials or equipped with high-density tungsten alloy materials. In the past, lead materials were used, but lead is prone to pollution. Therefore, tungsten alloy materials have a high proportion and are pollution-free, and are increasingly used in ship counterweights to ensure the balance of the ship.
As a counterweight material for ship hulls, tungsten alloy has its uniqueness:
Density: up to 18.75g/cm3
Non toxic and pollution-free
No magnetic, or weak magnetic
High mechanical performance
Corrosion resistance
Easy to process
