Ferrotungsten

Ferrotungsten is a tungsten based master alloy for the production of special steels to increase their hardness, wear resistance and improve mechanical properties (heat resistance, etc). The raw materials for ferrotungsten production are rich ore or ore concentrates of wolframite or scheelite. Also artificial scheelite or soft scrap can be used. The tungsten trioxide in these compounds can be reduced either carbothermically in electric arc furnaces or metallothermically by silicon and/or aluminum. Also a mixed carbothermic-silicothermic production is in use.

Commercial ferrotungsten contains between 75 and 85 % W. It has a steel grey appearance and a fine-grained structure consisting of FeW and Fe2W
