· JVASP-39243· K3W

K3W is a tungsten-based metal alloy in the refractory metal family, engineered for extreme-temperature and high-wear applications where conventional steels cannot perform. Its tungsten content provides exceptional hardness and melting point stability, making it valuable in aerospace, tooling, and industrial heating applications where thermal cycling and abrasive contact are routine. Engineers select K3W when superior wear resistance and thermal performance justify the material cost and density compared to standard tool steels or nickel-based superalloys.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
