The famous application of tungsten alloy Z is in the aerospace industry. The counterweight in the aerospace industry often needs to be placed in a limited space. With the significant reduction of counterweight size, more weight distribution needs to be controlled per unit volume. Tungsten alloy counterweight can increase the sensitivity of the control mechanism and control the operation of the aircraft within an acceptable range.
Vibration in the dynamic components of aircraft engine and propeller propulsion system is highly undesirable. A large number of balance weights can be used to reduce or eliminate vibration caused by mass imbalance of external rotating parts.
In addition, the counterweight is installed into many high control systems designed for propellers as a fault protection mechanism. In flight, the propeller maintains the correct angle through hydraulic pressure. Flight control surfaces such as elevators, rudders and ailerons often use counterweights to optimize performance. Tungsten alloys offer designers several advantages over traditional balance materials such as lead or steel. The high density of tungsten alloy can use smaller components, thus reducing the volume of the overall system. Unlike lead, which can exhibit creep at room temperature, tungsten alloys are stable, so they can be used to emphasize the part of mechanical operation without additional manufacturing and packing.
Other applications of tungsten alloys in the aerospace industry include a large number of counterweights for satellite and helicopter rotor blades, missiles and aviation gyroscope control. Unlike the anti vibration function, these materials are also used in the cockpit to increase the required vibration early warning control. Similarly, the fly by wire control system introduces a small batch of tungsten alloy into the flight control joystick to increase inertia, so as to rediscover the "feeling" of connecting the elevator and aileron under traditional control.
