The tungsten content in tungsten rods is 99.99%. This is a semi-finished product with the highest purity and the highest melting point of any metal (3422 °C). The metal can be worked well at temperatures between 1000 and 1600°C by forging, rolling and extrusion. Pure tungsten can easily be alloyed with other metals. The most important tungsten alloys are: tungsten-nickel-iron, tungsten-nickel-copper, tungsten-molybdenum and tungsten-copper alloys.
Tungsten rod has high density and strength. It is chemically very resistant and is hardly attacked by many acids. Furthermore, tungsten has an extremely high resistance to corrosion and heat. The material has high dimensional stability and a long service life.
Due to its excellent properties, tungsten rods are used in many areas of industry:
Tungsten rod is characterized by the following properties:
