Mallory and Hevimet, frequently mistaken for tungsten carbide (WC), are alloys of tungsten bonded with nickel (Ni) or nickel and copper (Cu). These compositions provide superior integrity and thermal expansion resistance, vital for aerospace applications demanding shape retention under extreme conditions.
