These bars are also known as flat stock.

Able to withstand greater heat than molybdenum and other high-temperature metal, this chemically pure tungsten is ultra dense for use in high-heat parts in vacuum furnaces, heat shields, and radiation shields.

Also known as chatter-free tungsten, this material is used for boring bars and grinding tools that dampen noise and vibration while machining.

Made of 75% tungsten for wear and arc-erosion resistance and 25% copper for electrical and thermal conductivity, these bars work well for electrodes in the electrical-discharge machining of tungsten carbide and other dense material. They’re commonly known as Elkonite bars.

This tungsten alloy is strong, corrosion resistant, and extremely dense. It’s dense enough to use as a lead alternative to shield from radiation, a vibration dampener in small spaces for equipment such as helicopter blades, and as crankshaft weights.
