Hevi-Metal Weights and Other Aerospace Applications

Tungsten and Tungsten Alloy Hevi-Metals are used as counter weights in fixed-wing aircraft and balance weights on helicopter rotor blades because of their high density. Tungsten Alloys are readily machineable into all configurations required for these sensitive applications.

Because of the care and expert machining needed to machine these components, Sylhan is ISO 9001-2000 Registered, which supports our Quality Assurance Program with company wide emphasis on Operator Responsibility for product quality. We also work to Military Specifications as required and comply with ANSI and ASME standards with our Hevi-Metal Weights. The Sylhan Quality Assurance Program was initiated as a result of our customers sophisticated and continually demanding industry requirements.

Contact us for information on how we can help you with your refractory metal machining for Hevi-Metal Weights or other products, such as pure tungsten electrodes and thoriated tungsten electrodes for lighting purposes and x-ray computed tomography (CT) components for the medical industry.  We can also help you with components for ion implantation process.
