Tungsten Heavy Alloy Hot Rolled Plate
Tungsten Heavy Alloy (WHA) Hot Rolled Plate. Elmet has been hot rolling pure tungsten and molybdenum for over 80 years and is the only US owned tungsten producer with hot rolling capabilities. Leveraging our leading pure tungsten metal plate and sheet capabilities, Elmet has recently begun offering a range of tungsten heavy alloy plate and tungsten heavy alloy sheet products in varying thickness and length and per our customer request. As with all of our materials, our WHA plate and sheet begins as metal powder, is pressed into ingots, sintered, and then rolled. The process enables us to tailor the product to meet specific customer material and/or performance requirements to ensure optimal performance in your application.

Elmet is a 100% US owned, fully integrated, leading producer of high-quality tungsten heavy alloy material and parts. Elmet is ISO, AS9100, and ITAR registered and a qualified supplier to many Tier 1/2 aerospace and defense contractors that leverage our specialty tungsten material as balance weights, flight hardware, and munition subcomponents. Our tungsten heavy alloy meets all ASTM B-777 and MIL-T-21014D requirements.
Elmet also precision machines WHA parts for use as ballast weights, radiation shields, boring bars, ordnance components, and other components that require high density and good ductility.
Elmet produces its own pure tungsten powder at its facility in Lewiston, Maine and has a large blending and alloying capability.
