Tungsten Bucking Bar

Tungsten alloy Bucking Bar, also known as rivet drivers, rivet hammers, rivet support rods or punches, etc., are tools used for installing rivets in the wing connection parts of aircraft. They are also an indispensable and important tool in aircraft maintenance.

Tungsten alloy Bucking Bar,Tungsten alloy rivet punches provide support while also enduring considerable pressure. In such circumstances, it is crucial to select the appropriate model. If we choose pure tungsten, but it is too soft, the punch will wear out quickly or fail to offer the necessary support. Alternatively, if the metal alloy is too hard and brittle, the punch is prone to breakage. Therefore, finding the right type is of utmost importance.

High-density tungsten alloys include tungsten-nickel-iron alloy and tungsten-nickel-copper alloy. High-density tungsten-based metals are classified into four grades, with tungsten contents of 90%, 92.5%, 95%, and 97%, respectively, and the remainder being nickel, iron, copper, etc. Tungsten-nickel-iron alloy, with its high density, high strength, and excellent properties such as good ductility, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, is the most ideal material for rivet punches.

Tungsten alloy Bucking Bar have become an excellent tool for riveting nowadays, especially when working in confined spaces. Having a suitable tungsten alloy rivet punch, along with a rivet gun, makes the work of professional maintenance personnel easier and aircraft maintenance safer.
