We carry a wide variety of tungsten and tungsten alloy products in stock, and for these, there is generally no minimum order requirement. However, for custom orders, we typically set a minimum order value of $200. The lead time for stock items is usually 1-2 weeks, while custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending on the specifics of the order.

DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) compliance is primarily concerned with the sourcing of materials for defense-related applications in the United States. According to DFARS, certain materials used in defense must be sourced from the United States or qualifying countries.

If you have specific tungsten materials that are subject to DFARS, please let us know in advance and we will confirm.

At Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, we take this responsibility seriously. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Our company operates with a strict code of ethics and is committed to only partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to responsible sourcing. We support the initiatives and programs aimed at promoting “conflict-free” supply chains and work diligently to ensure that our products meet these standards.

Tungsten foam is used in aerospace, defense, electronics, and medical industries for heat dissipation, radiation shielding, filtration, and structural components.

High porosity (75%-95%) enhances thermal insulation, fluid permeability, and energy absorption, making it effective for filtration and shielding applications.

Tungsten foam offers superior high-temperature resistance and strength compared to aluminum or nickel foams, but is denser and more expensive.

Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, established in 2022 in Shanghai, China, is a specialized supplier and manufacturer of tungsten and tungsten alloys. With extensive expertise in supply and export, we offer competitive pricing and customized solutions tailored to specific requirements, ensuring outstanding quality and customer satisfaction. As a professional provider of refractory metals, specialty alloys, spherical powders, and various advanced materials, we serve the research, development, and large-scale industrial production needs of the scientific and industrial sectors.
