- Verified for composition, density, flowability and size
- Once approved by our Quality Lab, the powders are pressed into a variety of shape, held together with a proprietary binder
- The pressed parts are then heated in a series of high temperature, thermal processing steps. These heat treatments convert the powder compacts into solid fragments of tungsten heavy alloy
- Product finishing often includes grinding to size, producing perfectly shaped spheres and cubes
