A family's day with Tungsten(12)

He is tired and wants to take a nap, but the presentation for the business meeting needs to be refined. So he opens his bag and looks for the laptop. Some music from the iPod will make the burden of working less hard. All these electronic devices contain printed circuit boards. During the production cycle, these circuit boards are brought in shape by the use of Cemented Carbide routers and drilled with Cemented Carbide micro drills, sometimes not larger than 0.1 mm in diameter.

These drills are operated at rpm’s up to 350,000 and drill several thousand holes in the highly abrasive boards. The integrated circuit chips in these electronic devices use Tungsten as conducting plug or wire and Tungsten Silicide as gate material. Also displays used in the equipment need Tungsten-Molybdenum alloys for production.

Finally we hope the father managed to refine his presentation and had a good and successful business day.
