In racing, tungsten alloy racing counterweight is widely used due to their high density and compact size.
Advantages of tungsten alloy counterweights
- High density: The density of tungsten alloy is about 18.5-19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, which is significantly higher than lead or steel.
- Compact size: Due to its high density, tungsten alloy counterweights can be smaller and more compact than other materials.
- Strength and durability: Tungsten alloy is very strong and resistant to deformation, performing well under the harsh conditions of racing.
- Temperature stability: Tungsten alloys maintain their properties even at high temperatures, which is especially important in a racing environment where engines and other components generate a lot of heat.
