Abstract

The invention relates to heavy tungsten-nickel-iron alloys with high mechanical characteristics and a specific gravity between 15.6 and 18. The alloys include a tungsten .alpha.-phase in the shape of butterfly wings with dislocation cells of dimensions between 0.1 and 1 .mu.m, and a nickel-iron bonding .gamma.-phase having a mean free path of less than 15 .mu.m and an Ni/Fe ratio greater than or equal to 2.
