Chemical composition

Standard W Th
TU 48-19-533-92 Rest 2.5-3.5
W is the basis.
According to TU 48-19-533-92, the chemical composition is given for a tungsten alloy of the VT-30 grade. In the Thorium (Th) column, the mass fraction of thorium oxide in the alloy, which should be within the range of 2.50-3.50, is indicated. The total mass fraction of impurities should not be more than 0.060%.
The mass fraction of tungsten, including thorium oxide, must be at least 99.94%. The amount of impurities includes iron, calcium, molybdenum, potassium, silicon, aluminum.
