Balancing weights made of our tungsten heavy metal composites Densimet and Inermet reduce oscillations, weight transfers, imbalances, and vibrations, while also compensating for them. They also create or shift centers of gravity. In this way, our balancing weights ensure the optimum balance for your product. Our materials are also well suited as vibration weights, reliably ensuring the targeted generation of mechanical oscillations.

As a hard material layer, chromium (Cr) and chromium nitride (CrN) protect engine components such as piston rings optimally against rapid wear and thereby extend the service life of important components. For other components, such as bucket tappets, chromium is used as an adhesive layer for the DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating. Our chromium can also be used as a decorative layer on watches, electronic items, control elements, and many other products to give a brilliant shine.

Dimming caps made of molybdenum: Halogen lamps for vehicle headlamps, such as H4 halogen lamps, usually have two filaments: one for full beam and one for low beam which is shielded by a molybdenum dimming cap, thus limiting the beam of light. The highest precision in the manufacturing process is decisive along with maintaining the exact geometry of the dimming caps because of the strict regulations regarding the point at which the light cast by car headlamps ends. Our molybdenum dimming caps for vehicle headlamps are characterized by very high and reproducible quality. This is so they will meet our customers` "zero defect" requirement. They reflect light particularly well and ensure optimal light yield with a long service life due to the high purity of our material.

Electrodes made of tungsten-copper: During plasma spraying, metal- or ceramic powder is melted in a plasma arc and then propelled at high speed against the workpiece to be coated. In this way, it is possible to deposit impermeable, adherent layers on tools and various equipment components. When used in spraying guns, our electrodes have to be able to withstand temporary plasma temperatures of over 12,000°C. This high stress is no problem for our tungsten-copper electrodes. The back-casting production process makes a perfect connection between the tungsten and copper. Our electrodes thus enable constant operating conditions for a long service life.

Heatable glass is used to prevent the fogging up and freezing of windows in automobiles, trucks, and ships. We provide exactly the right heating wire for manufacturing this glass: fine tungsten wires that can be used in all types of window heating.

Molybdenum glass melting electrodes: Molybdenum glass melting electrodes for electrically heated glass tanks must be able to withstand extreme thermal loads and aggressive glass melts. Our molybdenum is ideal for these difficult conditions. Thanks to a special forging process, the glass melting electrodes we manufacture possess a particularly smooth surface. In addition, our forming processes result in a particularly coarse-grained, creep-resistant material structure coupled with optimum straightness. This ensures that our glass melting electrodes do not deform, are less prone to wear, and last longer.

Heating conductors made of refractory metals: Electrical current flows through the heating conductor, where it generates heat. This resistance heating creates the high temperatures in the furnace. Our components made of molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, and their alloys are made for this. We can provide heating conductors for all types of high-temperature furnaces according to your application. By combining different constructions and materials for our heating elements, we are able to achieve low surface loading with an even temperature distribution. This ensures that the heating elements can reliably withstand high temperatures, even over long operating periods.

Inserts made of molybdenum-hafnium carbide for extrusion dies. Extrusion presses are used to form non-ferrous metals such as brass, copper-nickel, and aluminum-bronze, as well as stainless steel, into rods, wires, or tubes. The metal blank is first heated to its forming temperature and then is pressed through the die using a ram. This gives the metal its external shape. Extrusion dies are exposed to high mechanical pressures. A very high level of frictional heat is also generated between the die and the workpiece during processing. By adding small quantities of hafnium carbide, we get our molybdenum ready for a long service life in your extrusion press.
