Manufacturing processes for articles that are formed from compositions of matter that include powders containing tungsten and at least one binder, as well as articles formed thereby. In some embodiments, the processes include compacting the mixture of powders under a first pressure to yield a desired intermediate structure, then reshaping the structure under a second pressure that is lower than the first pressure to yield the desired article. The compacting steps may include punches and/or dies having different configurations and/or materials of construction. The composition of matter preferably is selected to reflow, or be reshaped, without fragmenting or otherwise disintegrating into discrete particles or particulate. In some embodiments, the compacted intermediate structure and/or final article has an extrusion constant of less than 30,000 psi. In some embodiments, the mixture of powders has an ASTM Hall flowmeter reading for fifty grams through a cone (without tapping) of less than 18 seconds.

1. A tungsten-containing fire projectile, comprising:a lead-free body at least substantially comprised of a compacted powder comprising at least a tungsten-containing component and a tin-containing component, wherein the body has a density in the range of 8 g/cc and 15 g/cc, and further wherein the compacted powder has an extrusion constant (k) of less than 30,000 pounds per square inch (psi), with the extrusion constant being defined by the equation P=k In (A/A′), with (P) representing the extrusion pressure in psi, (A) representing the cross-sectional area of a sample formed from the compacted powder before extrusion and (A′) representing the cross-sectional area of the sample after extrusion. 2. The projectile of claim 1, wherein before compaction, the powder has an Hall flowmeter reading of less than 18 seconds for fifty grams of the powder flowing through a cone without tapping. 3. The projectile of claim 2, wherein before compaction, the powder has an Hall flowmeter reading of less than 16 seconds for fifty grams of the powder flowing through a cone without tapping. 4.

The projectile of claim 1, wherein the powder further comprises at least one non-metallic binder. 10. The projectile of claim 9, wherein the at least one non-metallic binder includes a thermoset resin. 11. The projectile of claim 10, wherein the at least one non-metallic binder includes a flexible epoxy. 12. The projectile of claim 10, wherein the projectile further comprises a non-metallic coating on the body. 13. The projectile of claim 12, wherein the projectile further comprises a jacket that at least substantially encloses the body. 14. A firearm cartridge containing a firearm projectile according to claim 1. 15. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile is frangible. 16. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile is infrangible. 17. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile is a bullet. 18. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile is a shot pellet. 19. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile is a shot slug. 20. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile has a density in the range of 8-11.2 g/cc. 21. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile has a density in the range of 11.1-11.3 g/cc. 22. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile has a density in the range of 11.5-13 g/cc. 23. The projectile of claim 1, wherein the projectile has a density in the range of 12 g/cc-15 g/cc.
