Tungsten
Tungsten is a high-density, heat-resistant and extremely hard metal that plays a key role in numerous branches of industry. It is considered one of the most robust elements of all and is indispensable in tool manufacture, electronics, energy technology and armaments.
We deliver what stands the test of time
Tungsten scores with the highest melting point of all metals, exceptional hardness and excellent conductivity - properties that predestine it for high-performance applications.
Whether as carbide in drill heads, as an electrode in welding technology or in high-temperature components: Tungsten is in demand wherever other materials fail.
We secure the supply of high-quality tungsten - powerful, resilient, predictable in the long term.
Tungsten in figures - 2024
01
China dominates the tungsten market with over 80 % of global production - which makes securing raw materials strategically challenging for other countries.
02
Tungsten is mainly used in hard metals (e.g. for tools), in electronics, in radiation protection and in automotive and aviation technology.
03
Tungsten compounds such as ammonium paratungstate (APT) or tungsten trioxide are essential preliminary products in further processing.
04
The German Commodities Group offers tungsten in various forms and purity grades - from ore concentrate to refined metal.
Highest load. Highest quality.
We trade tungsten as a powder, rod material, granulate or alloy component - individually adapted to industrial and high-tech applications.
Our customers: Toolmaking, electronics, aviation, energy technology.
We deliver what is tougher than the rest.
