With a hundred years of experience, our company stands for excellence in tungsten production. Our modern plants start by converting raw tungsten into the intermediate product ammonium paratungstate (APT), which we then process into tungsten metal (W), tungsten carbide (WC) and cast tungsten carbide (W2C/WC). Tantalum and niobium carbide powders round out the product portfolio.
Exceptional properties
Tungsten’s unique properties make it indispensable in many key industries. With a melting point of 3,422 °C, the highest of any metal, it withstands the highest temperatures with minimal thermal expansion. Tungsten is over one and a half times heavier than lead. Its exceptional hardness, nearly equal to that of diamond, makes tungsten carbide the material of choice wherever special loads have to be handled.
