Tungsten Vs carbide shanks

[MrFish]

As the title suggests I'm looking for opinions on Iscar multi-master shanks , Tungsten heavy metal vs Carbide at longish overhangs.

Is carbide more rigid  but tungsten better damped ?

You pretty much answered your own question. Yes.

Sweet thanks Ron, was a good guess then

'carbide' is a misnomer. it describes the metallurgical structure. It's 'Tungsten Carbide'.

modulus of elasticity of wrought Tungsten (W)  vs sintered Tungsten carbides are either equal or up to 50% greater for Wc (tungsten carbide). How that effects the natural resonant frequency response of the system? Meh, try em and see.... lol
