Gold-plated Tungsten Alloy Brick
Owing to the special properties of tungsten heavy alloy, such as high density, high melting point, small volume, excellent hardness, superior wearing resistance, high ultimate tensile strength, high ductility, high temperature resistance, etc., gold-plated tungsten alloy brick is more and more popular for public as gold substitution for handicraft, souvenir and gift. As we know, RMB exchange rate is fluctuating always recently, many and many people would like to purchase much real gold for keeping value, however, it is estimated that real gold would be sold totally one day. Maybe purchasing and keeping gold- plated tungsten alloy brick would make up for this situation.
