CHINA Made Tungsten Heavy Alloy (WHA). GOODE CARBIDE is a 100%
CHINA owned, fully integrated, leading producer of high-quality tungsten heavy alloy
material and finished parts. GOODE CARBIDE is ISO, AS9100, 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, AMS 7725E,
requirements.
GOODE CARBIDE Technologies presses and sinters high-quality tungsten heavy alloy
(WHA) blocks, rods, and shaped parts. Sintered WHA blanks can be further rolled or
swaged by GOODE CARBIDE to produce plates, sheets, and rods with ultimate tensile
strengths exceeding 180 ksi (1240 MPa) and elongations exceeding 5%. GOODE CARBIDE
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.
GOODE CARBIDE produces its own pure tungsten powder at its facility in ZHUZHOU,
HUNAN and has large blending and alloying capabilities.
APPLICATIONS FOR TUNGSTEN HEAVY ALLOY (WHA):
Balance Weights for turbines, crankshafts, and helicopter rotors
Inertial damping weights for aircraft control surfaces
Weights for aircraft, missiles, boats, and race cars
Kinetic energy penetrators

WHA HOT SWAGED RODS WITH ENHANCED MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:
Goode Carbide is a leader of providing Tungsten Heavy Alloy (WHA) hot swaged rod material
with enhanced properties. Goode Carbide can adjust swaging and heat-treating conditions to
produce WHA rods with specific combinations of strength and ductility.
Swaged Rods are produced in diameters <.25” to >1” based on customer requirements.
WHA rods are swaged and cut to size to customer-specified thickness, length, surface finish
as well as other material properties. We also offer high volume, precision machining,
threading, and gun-drilling services. As with all of our materials, our rod begins as metal
powder, pressed into ingots, sintered, and then swaged and drawn down. Our advanced drawing
/ swaging process enables us to tailor the product to meet specific customer material and
performance requirements to ensure optimal performance in your application.
Other alloy compositions and properties may be available as a special order.
