Tungsten powder is prepared through hydrogen reduction of tungsten trioxide or ammonium paratungstate. It has growing demand in India for industrial and defense applications as a strategic material. The Indian market size for tungsten metal powder is approximately 150 tonnes per month, with most imports currently coming from China. Tungsten powder is produced through calcination of ammonium paratungstate to form tungsten trioxide, which is then reduced to tungsten powder using hydrogen in a pusher-type furnace.
