Perspectives for industrial application of high-density composite material based on system of tungsten - lead

The review of the application areas of high-density composite materials based on tungsten with a special set of properties, which depends on the composition of the composite material and the properties of the matrix material (copper, silver, nickel, iron, tin, and lead), as well as the technological features of the manufacture of such materialsб is presented. The physical-mechanical characteristics of known composite materials based on tungsten are given, as well as the promising application of a high-density composite material of the W-Pb system as a material for balancing weights for various purposes, an detector absorber for thermonuclear reactors LHCb and SHiP, in the military industry for war missiles and in other industry sectors.
