Tungsten Fishing Weights are a kind of tungsten based alloy (generally 80% ~ 98% tungsten content). Small amounts of nickel, iron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum, chromium and other elements are added to the alloy material. The density of high specific gravity tungsten alloy is up to 15.20~18.70 g/cm3, also known as heavy tungsten alloy or high density alloy material. Because tungsten alloys weigh more than twice as much as iron or steel.

Tungsten alloy has a series of excellent properties, significant ratio: general ratio of 16.5-18.75g/cm3, high strength: tensile strength of 700-1000mpa, strong ray absorption capacity: 30-40% higher than lead, large thermal conductivity: 5 times of die steel; Low thermal expansion coefficient: only 1/2-1/3 of steel, good electrical conductivity; Good weldability and machinability.
Common processes for preparing tungsten heavy alloys include mixing the desired amount of tungsten, iron, nickel or copper powder and then cold pressing and liquid phase sintering to near full density. During the liquid phase treatment, the matrix tungsten alloy melts and brings some tungsten into the solution, forming a microstructure through which large tungsten particles (20-60μm) are dispersed in the matrix alloy.
Tungsten Fishing Weights pendant is a kind of tungsten alloy material production of fishing gear. Tungsten alloy fishing pendant has high density, small volume and different shapes, suitable for various river sections. Tungsten alloy fishing pendant embodies the advantages different from other manufacturing materials.
