    Tungsten Metal Powder — South Africa

    South African electrical contact manufacturers and radiation shielding fabricators — serving Johannesburg's large electrical engineering sector and the country's nuclear and medical radiation markets — use tungsten metal powder (W ≥ 99.85%, F.S.S.S. 1.5–15 µm, O max. 0.06%) as the dense refractory phase in copper-tungsten contact composites for medium-voltage switchgear and as a high-density filler for radiation attenuation applications in South Africa's growing medical imaging sector. South Africa's established heavy industrial base and significant electrical infrastructure — including Eskom's power distribution network — generates ongoing demand for switchgear contact materials using W powder. Jayanth Tungsten supplies W metal powder to South African contact manufacturers and engineering distributors via Durban with full ICP-OES CoA documentation per production lot.

    Export packaging & documentation

    Tungsten metal powder is packed in sealed steel drums under nitrogen or vacuum to prevent oxidation during transit, each lot accompanied by a certificate of analysis stating F.S.S.S. grain size, apparent density, and chemistry (W min. 99.85%, O max. 0.06%). Export classification is under HS heading 8101.94 (tungsten powders).

    Export questions

    What F.S.S.S. grain sizes are available for export?

    Standard grades range from 1.5–3 µm to 12–15 µm F.S.S.S., with corresponding apparent densities from 2.5 to 6.2 g/cc. Custom grain size targets can be agreed for larger export orders — share your application and we will confirm feasibility and lead time.

    Do you supply tungsten carbide and fused WC grit for South African mining hard-facing?

    Yes. Jayanth Tungsten supplies fused WC grit (apparent density 5.90 g/cc, mesh 30/40 to 100/120) and WC powder for South African mining equipment manufacturers and hard-facing fabricators. Sea freight from Nhava Sheva to Durban is 15–18 days. Full export documentation (commercial invoice, CoA, certificate of origin, SDS) under HS 2849 is provided with every shipment.
