What Are the Applications of Tungsten Wire?

Tungsten wire has excellent properties such as high density, high melting point, high strength and high hardness, so it is widely used in many fields. The following are the main aplications of tungsten wire:

1. Manufacturing high-temperature alloys:As a reinforcing material for high-temperature alloys, tungsten wire is widely used in aerospace, energy and chemical industries. The addition of tungsten wire can significantly improve the creep strength and high temperature resistance of the alloy. In high-temperature alloys, the content of tungsten wire is usually between 5% and 15%, depending on the type of alloy and application scenario.

2. Manufacturing filaments:
Due to the high melting point and high resistivity of tungsten wire, and its resistance to deformation at high temperatures, it is widely used as a material for manufacturing light bulb filaments. In the manufacture of light bulbs, tungsten wire is wound in a glass tube, which can generate high temperature when powered on, making the filament glow. Tungsten filaments not only have the characteristics of high brightness and long life, but also can withstand the impact of high voltage and current.

3. Manufacturing electrodes:
Due to the high melting point and good conductivity of tungsten wire, it has superior performance in the manufacture of high-temperature electrodes. For example, in electron beam processing, tungsten wire is used as an electrode to guide high-energy electron beams to process materials. In addition, in arc welding and plasma cutting, tungsten wire is also used as an electrode to improve welding and cutting efficiency.

4. Manufacturing tools:
Due to the high hardness and strength of tungsten wire, it is an ideal material for manufacturing tools. For example, tungsten steel is often used as a material when manufacturing tools such as drills, milling cutters and turning tools. Tungsten steel tools have the characteristics of high hardness, high wear resistance and high impact resistance, which can significantly improve the service life and work efficiency of tools.

5. Nuclear industry:
In the field of nuclear industry, tungsten wire is also used as one of the materials for manufacturing nuclear reactors. Due to its high melting point and good corrosion resistance, tungsten can be used as a structural material and sealing material in nuclear reactors. In addition, tungsten wire has good radiation shielding performance and can effectively protect workers from radiation damage.

6. Scientific research:
In the field of scientific research, tungsten wire, as a high-performance material, is widely used in various experiments. For example, in materials science research, tungsten wire can be used as a high-temperature experimental material and structural material. In biological and medical research, tungsten wire is also used to prepare biological samples and conduct cell experiments.
