Tungsten rods are mainly used as heater, support pillar, feeder and fastener in vacuum or reducing atmosphere high temperature furnace. Moreover, serve as light source in lighting industry, electrode in glass and tombarthite melting, and welding equipments.
Size: 2.0mm~100mm diameter Length: 50-2000mm
Tungsten rod Availability
Tungsten rod is manufactured as random length pieces or cut to customers’ desired lengths. Standard diameter and length tolerances are listed as follows. Other, closer tolerances can be quoted on request. In addition, there are three different surface processes or finishes which are provided, depending upon the desired end use.
Tungsten rod Surface Finish
Black – Surface is “as swaged” or “as drawn”; retaining a coating of processing lubricants and oxides.
Cleaned – Surface is chemically cleaned to remove all lubricants and oxides.
Ground – Surface is centerless ground to remove all coating and to achieve precise diameter control.
