Fe-W

1. Introduce – An alloy of Fe and W (approx. 75–85%) – Manufactured by reducing tungsten ore (WO₃) in an electric furnace using carbon (C) or silicon (Si) to form an oxide, then adding iron (Fe) – Manufactured by alloying tungsten (W) and iron (Fe) using the high-temperature heat generated by the thermite reaction that occurs when iron-manganese tungstate ((Fe, Mn)WO₃), a tungsten ore, is reduced with aluminum (Al) powder – Primarily used as an alloying additive in steel manufacturing and casting to improve the strength and toughness of the final product – Suitabl...
