Precision CNC Tungsten Machining Services For Complex Components

Owens Industries is a trusted name when it comes to providing advanced tungsten machining services. With CNC technology and state-of-the-art equipment, we can perform complex machining operations for many different CNC machining materials including tungsten. Our advanced machining capabilities include 4-axis and 5-axis milling, swiss machining, and even micromachining. This allows us to create the highest precision parts with the tightest tolerances. We can achieve tolerances as tight as 0.0005".

Owens Industries is a Wisconsin-based CNC machine shop, but we have been known nationally since 1944 for being on time, within budget, and within tolerance. We understand that each project is unique, which is why we offer custom tungsten machining services tailored to meet specific customer requirements. Our expertise in providing high-quality custom tungsten parts manufacturing and fabrication services is unmatched. Owens' commitment to quality assurance and inspection ensures that every precision tungsten CNC machining service we provide is of the highest standard.

Tungsten Grades For CNC Machining

Series	Main Alloying Element	Machinability	Properties	Typical Applications	Notes
AMS-T-21014 Class 1	Tungsten	Very Difficult	Post Sinter Heat Treated, Brinell: 271, HRc: 28	High-density applications, radiation shielding	Slow cutting speeds, brittle, prone to chipping
AMS-T-21014 Class 2	Tungsten	Difficult	Sintered, Brinell: 286, HRc: 30	Aerospace, defense, medical applications	Moderate cutting speeds, requires expertise
AMS-T-21014 Class 3	Tungsten	Extremely Difficult	Sintered, Swaged after Sintering, Brinell: 442, HRc: 47	Penetrators, kinetic energy projectiles	High tooling cost, requires specialized techniques
Pure Tungsten	Tungsten	Extremely Difficult	High melting point, high density, brittle, difficult to machine	Electrical applications, electronic components	Not recommended for general CNC machining
Alloyed Tungsten (e.g., copper alloys)	Copper, Iron, Nickel, etc.	Moderately Difficult	Non-magnetic, lower tensile strength, good heat resistance	Heating coils, electrical conductors	Careful selection based on alloy composition
Heavy Metal Tungsten Alloys	Thorium oxide	Very Difficult	Enhances thermionic electron transmission, high-density alloys	Radiation shielding, aerospace applications	Similar challenges to pure tungsten
Tungsten Carbide	Carbon	Difficult	Extremely hard, abrasive-resistant, good heat resistance	Cutting tools, mining drill bits, industrial machinery	Specialized CNC machines and toolpaths required
Cemented Carbide	Tungsten, Cobalt	Moderate	Strengthened with cobalt binder, less prone to vibrations	Metal cutting tools, boring equipment	Widely used for machining other materials, not recommended for direct tungsten machining

The above information is a general overview, and specific grades within each series may have variations in alloying elements and characteristics. Please refer to the detailed specifications of individual Tungsten grades for more accurate information.
