What Is Elkonite® & Mallory Metal?
Elkonite® and Mallory metals are high-performance tungsten-based alloys typically combined with copper or silver. They are engineered for durability, heat resistance, and electrical conductivity—making them valuable in industrial and electrical applications.
- Elkonite®: A tungsten-copper composite commonly used in electrical contacts, welding electrodes, and heat-resistant components.
- Mallory Metal: A dense tungsten alloy (often tungsten-nickel-iron or tungsten-copper) used in aerospace, tooling, and vibration-damping applications.
Because of their high tungsten content and specialty composition, these materials hold strong scrap value and should be recycled properly through experienced buyers.
