Anti-Vibration Seco MiniMaster Densimet MM16-1.00-5.9-0-00150S Finishing Mill For Sale

Item #386Lightly used if any, has a small ding on the shank. See photo. This tool is very heavy for its size.It is made of a proprietary metal named Densimet.Densimet is not a steel, but a trademarked family of high-density tungsten heavy alloys (usually 90-97% tungsten mixed with nickel, iron, or copper). It offers up to twice the density of standard steel (reaching up to 18.8 g/cm³), providing maximum mass in minimal space for applications like vibration damping, radiation shielding, and balancing weights. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Because of its unique composition, Densimet is prized in heavy industry for specific applications:• Tooling: Used in anti-vibration boring bars to absorb chatter during deep-hole machining.
• Radiation Shielding: Highly effective at blocking X-rays and gamma rays.
• Aerospace & Automotive: Ideal for precise balancing weights and rotating parts. [1, 2, 4, 6, 7]For exact mechanical properties, grades (such as D170, D176, or D180), and specific material data sheets, you can explore the Plansee Tungsten Composites catalog or view the MatWeb DENSIMET Technical Data Sheets.
