Ngenxa yobuninzi bayo kunye nobunzima, i-tungsten isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo njenge-acounterweight metal. Iipropati zayo zenza ukuba zilungele izicelo ezifuna i-compact kunye ne-heavy-duty counterweights. Nangona kunjalo, ngokuxhomekeke kwiimfuno ezithile zesicelo, ezinye izinyithi ezifana nelothe, intsimbi, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha i-uranium ephelileyo ingasetyenziswa njengezinto eziphikisanayo. Intsimbi nganye ineenzuzo zayo kunye nokuqwalaselwa kwayo, kwaye ukhetho lwesinyithi esichasene nobunzima buxhomekeke kwizinto ezifana nobuninzi, iindleko, ukhuseleko kunye nefuthe lokusingqongileyo.

I-Tungsten isetyenziswa kwi-counterweights ngenxa yobuninzi bayo kunye nobunzima obunzima. I-Tungsten inobuninzi be-19.25 g/cm3, obuphezulu kakhulu kunezinye iintsimbi ezisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo njengelothe okanye intsimbi. Oku kuthetha ukuba umthamo omncinci we-tungsten unokubonelela ubunzima obufanayo njengomthamo omkhulu wezinye izinto.

Ukusetyenziswa kwe-tungsten kwii-counterweights kuvumela ukuba kubekho i-compact, i-space-saving designs, ngakumbi kwizicelo apho ukusabalalisa ubunzima kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukongeza, i-tungsten ayinayo ityhefu kwaye inendawo ephezulu yokunyibilika, iyenza ibe lukhetho olukhuselekileyo noluhlala ixesha elide kwizicelo ezichaseneyo.

Ngenxa yeempawu zayo ezizodwa, i-tungsten isoloko ithathwa njengeyona nto ibhetele kunentsimbi kwizicelo ezithile. Nazi ezinye izizathu zokuba kutheni i-tungsten inokuba ngcono kunentsimbi kwiimeko ezithile:

1. Ubuninzi: I-Tungsten inobuninzi obuphezulu kakhulu kunentsimbi, iyenza ilungele izicelo ezifuna umgangatho ophezulu kwivolumu encinci. Oku kuluncedo ngakumbi apho kufuneka i-compact kunye ne-counterweight enzima.

2. Ubunzima: Ubunzima be-tungsten buphezulu kakhulu kunentsimbi, okwenza kube nzima ukugqoka, ukukrazula kunye nokuguqulwa. Le propati inenzuzo kwizicelo ezifana nezixhobo zokusika, iimbumbulu zokubhoboza izixhobo kunye neendawo ezinobushushu obuphezulu.

3. Ukumelana nokushisa okuphezulu: Indawo yokunyibilika kwe-tungsten iphezulu kakhulu, iphezulu kakhulu kuneyentsimbi. Oku kuyenza ilungele ukusetyenziswa kwizicelo apho ukuvezwa kobushushu obuphezulu kuqwalaselwa, njenge-aerospace kunye nezicelo zomkhosi.

4. I-Non-toxic: I-Tungsten ayinayo ityhefu, ngokungafaniyo nezinye iindidi zentsimbi enokuthi iqulethe izinto ezinobungozi kwimpilo kunye nokusingqongileyo.

Nangona kunjalo, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba intsimbi nayo ineenzuzo zayo, ezifana nokuguquguquka kwayo, i-ductility, kunye neendleko eziphantsi xa kuthelekiswa ne-tungsten. Ukhetho phakathi kwe-tungsten kunye nentsimbi kuxhomekeke kwiimfuno ezithile zesicelo kunye nokusebenza okufunekayo kwimeko yokusetyenziswa.
