Tungsten (W) Nanopowder Main Feature
The high surface area of tungsten nanopowder compared to its bulk counterpart enhances its reactivity and interaction with other substances. This makes it particularly useful in catalysis and chemical reactions where surface area plays a crucial role in the efficiency of the process. Tungsten nanopowder inherits and amplifies the inherent hardness and strength of bulk tungsten, making it an ideal candidate for reinforcing materials in composites, improving wear resistance, and enhancing mechanical properties for industrial applications.Despite being in nanopowder form, tungsten retains its high melting point, the highest among all metals. This property is crucial for applications requiring materials that can withstand extreme temperatures without degrading.On the nanoscale, tungsten’s electrical conductivity can be optimized for specific applications, making it suitable for use in electronic components, conductive inks, and as a component in advanced battery technologies.Tungsten nanopowder maintains excellent thermal stability, making it valuable in applications requiring materials that must endure or operate under high temperatures, such as aerospace components and high-temperature furnace parts.
