What Are the Characteristics of Thoriated Tungsten Needles?

Thorium tungsten needle has the following characteristics:

  1. Good welding performance: Thoriated tungsten tungsten needles show good performance during the welding process, such as easy arc starting, stable arc, strong current carrying capacity, etc. This enables it to provide stable current during the welding process, thereby ensuring welding quality.
  2. Long life: The long service life of the thoriated tungsten needle means that under normal use conditions, it does not need to be replaced frequently, thus reducing the cost of use.
  3. Good antioxidant properties: The thoriated tungsten needle can still maintain its antioxidant properties at high temperatures, making it not easily damaged during long-term use.
  4. Radioactive contamination: Because the thoriated tungsten needle contains thorium, which is a radioactive element, it has certain radioactive contamination. However, according to some studies, this radioactive contamination will not cause serious effects on the human body under normal use conditions. However, attention should be paid to the radioactive hazards that may occur in specific environments (such as when welding in a container with poor ventilation, or when grinding and storing thoriated tungsten rods).
  5. Wide range of applications: Thorium tungsten tungsten needles are widely used in many fields, such as welding, electronic testing, etc.

In general, thoriated tungsten needle is a material with excellent performance and wide application. However, because it contains radioactive elements, safety issues need to be paid attention to when using it. The above information is for reference only. If necessary, it is recommended to consult professional technicians.
