Tungsten rods
For lighting, electrodes, and high-temperature furnace parts
Beyond tungsten wires – rods are also available. These are used for lighting, electrodes, high-temperature furnace parts, probe pins, etc., with the characteristic, the highest melting point among metals. Customers can choose rods from a variety of diameters, materials and finishing methodsfor various applications. We also offer the world’s highest level high-purity tungsten rods by strictly controlling raw material and processes, taking advantage of our integrated production.
| AW | Excellent high-temperature deformation resistance, blackening resistance, shocking resistance, less impurity gas, and long life. |
|---|---|
| AX | Compared with conventional materials, the recrystallization temperature is higher (50° to 200°C), dope hole is smaller, crystal structure after recrystallization is 3 to 4 times longer, and non-sagging performance is greatly improved. |
| EX | World’s No.1 grade filament material. It contains less impurity gas, excels in high temperature deformation resistance and corrosion resistance against evaporated metals including Al, Ni, Cr. Moreover, it has a long life. |
| DW | Long lifetime tungsten material that facilitates emission of thermo-electrons, and prevents grain growths and integranular fracture at the thermionic emission temperature. We respond to coil processing, tip processing, and assembly processing upon your request. |
| CY(PFW) | The most common pure tungsten material with good workability, excellent corrosion resistance, and less impurity gas contained. |
| EP,KT | Dramatically reduces discharge consumption resistance by dispersing crystal grains finely. |
