Industrial Grade Ferro Tungsten is used to increase the abrasion resistant power, strength to steel, to manufacture heat resistant steel and magnetic steel. The Ferro Tungsten is often added to steel melts as ferrotungsten, which can contain up to 80% tungsten. The Ferro Tungsten is used in the production of turbine blades and other wear-resistant coatings and parts. The Industrial Grade Ferro Tungsten is used in kinetic energy penetrates as an alternative to depleted uranium, but is also used in projectiles and grenades to create super-sonic shrapnel.
