PURE TUNGSTEN

About PURE TUNGSTEN

• Highest Melting Point: Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals at approximately 3,422 C (6,192 F), making it indispensable for applications requiring thermal stability in extreme heat.
• High Density: It is an extremely dense metal, with a density of around 19.3 g/cm, comparable to gold and uranium. This property makes it ideal for applications needing high mass in a small volume, such as weights and radiation shielding.
• Exceptional Strength and Hardness: It is one of the strongest metals at room temperature and retains its mechanical properties at high temperatures. Tungsten's carbide form is nearly as hard as diamond.
• Low Thermal Expansion: Tungsten has the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion of any pure metal, a property that makes it useful for glass-to-metal seals.
• Good Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: It possesses good thermal and electrical conductivity (about one-third of copper), making it valuable for use in electronics and heating elements.
• Corrosion Resistance: Chemically, tungsten is relatively inert at room temperature and exhibits excellent resistance to most mineral acids and corrosion, although it can oxidize at elevated temperatures.
• Brittleness (under standard conditions): While pure single-crystalline tungsten can be ductile, polycrystalline tungsten is intrinsically a brittle and hard material under standard conditions, which can pose challenges for certain fabrication processes.
• Low Vapor Pressure: It has the lowest vapor pressure of all metals at high temperatures.
• Non-Magnetic: Pure tungsten is considered paramagnetic, meaning it is only weakly attracted to magnetic fields and does not retain magnetism, a useful property in sensitive electronic and medical applications.

• Lighting: Filaments for incandescent light bulbs and halogen lamps.
• Electronics: Electrical contacts, electrodes, and components in integrated circuits and vacuum tubes.
• High-Temperature Applications: Components for high-temperature furnaces, rocket nozzles, and fusion reactors.
• Medical Technology: Radiation shielding for X-ray and CT scanning equipment.
• Tooling and Defense: Tungsten carbide is used for cutting tools, drill bits, and armor-piercing projectiles.
• Weights and Counterbalances: Used in aircraft and race cars due to its high density.

Exceptional Purity and Durability

Manufactured to ISO and ASTM B760 standards, our pure tungsten electrodes guarantee exceptional purity and a robust surface finish. The 99.95% purity ensures minimal contamination during welding, resulting in cleaner and stronger welds and prolonged lifespan for the electrode.


Precision Welding Performance

Engineered for TIG and Arc welding applications, these electrodes are designed to perform consistently at high temperatures. The polished surface enhances current flow and arc stability, making them perfect for critical industries where precision and reliability are paramount.


Ideal Sizing and Compatibility

Our tungsten rods are supplied in a standard diameter of 2.4 mm and length of 150 mm, making them suitable for most commercial welding machines operating at 220 V and a welding current between 150-200 A. Their round shape and polished finish provide compatibility and optimal handling for welding professionals.
