Tungsten in Aerospace

Tungsten and Tungsten Alloys are important to the aerospace industry. With high density, strength, and heat resistance, they find various uses in aircraft and spacecraft. The high density of tungsten alloys allows for the use of smaller components, reducing the overall system size. Unlike lead, which can creep at room temperature, tungsten alloys are stable and can be used to emphasize the part of the machine that operates without the need for additional fabrication and packing.
