Why is Tungsten Alloy a substitute for gold?
In theory, the density of uranium is 19.1g/cm3, which is approximately 70% heavier than lead and can be used to make counterfeit silver coins. But it has weak radioactivity and no gold weight, so using it to make fake gold seems impractical. Then people discovered that tungsten is both environmentally friendly and hard. Importantly, its density is 19.25g/cm3, which is almost the same as the density of gold (19.3g/cm3), and its weight is also similar. These advantages make tungsten a good substitute for precious metals such as gold or silver. Gold is expensive, while tungsten alloy gilded products are relatively affordable and can be used as a substitute for gold
Application of tungsten alloy as a substitute for gold:
Nowadays, Tungsten Alloys have been increasingly used as substitutes for gold or silver products, such as necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, etc. It is also often used to make commemorative coin, such as commemorative crowns and other applications such as watch chains. Because tungsten alloy can maintain its shiny properties for a long time, when used in jewelry, it often indicates that love between lovers will last forever. Its hardness makes it very suitable for making rings and can avoid wear and tear.
Other uses of tungsten alloy gold-plated products
Tungsten alloy gold-plated products have a density similar to gold and have corrosion resistance, making them more affordable than gold. The surface of tungsten alloy gold plated products is plated with 18k or 24k gold, which can be made into tungsten alloy gold plated bars, tungsten alloy gold plated blocks, tungsten alloy gold plated poles, gold plated commemorative coin, gold plated eggs, etc. If you work in large enterprises such as multinational corporations, you can also engrave your company's name or logo on a gold-plated tungsten alloy paperweight as a gift to give to your customers. The cost is very low and can attract more customers. If it's a couple or couple, you can use gilded strips as souvenirs. We can also engrave your lover's name or other special markings on the product. If it is a team that has won the Guan army, they can use gold plated blocks as souvenirs.
Tungsten alloy gold-plated products can also be used as a substitute for gold at exhibitions. Once gold is lost, it will suffer a heavy loss. If gold-plated products are used instead of gold, losses can be reduced.
In addition, tungsten alloys have good conductivity and can be used as gold-plated tungsten wires in industrial fields. It can save energy while not producing pollution.
