What Is the Difference in Conductive Properties Between Tungsten Wire for Textiles Weaving Gloves and Platinum Wire?

The difference in conductive properties between tungsten wire for textiles weaving gloves and platinum wire can be compared in the following aspects:

  1. Conductive properties

Tungsten wire

Tungsten has a high resistivity of about 5.6 x 10^-8 Ω·m, which means that it has relatively poor conductivity. Tungsten wire is often used in applications that require high temperature and high strength, but it is not the best conductive material.

Platinum wire

Platinum has a low resistivity of about 10.6 x 10^-8 Ω·m. Although platinum has a higher resistivity than some other metals (such as copper and silver), it still has good conductive properties. Platinum wire is often used in situations that require corrosion resistance and conductivity, such as in sensors and electronic devices, due to its good conductivity and chemical inertness.

  1. Effect of temperature on conductivity

Tungsten wire

Tungsten can maintain its structural strength and stability at high temperatures. Although its conductivity is not as good as platinum, the resistance change of tungsten wire is relatively stable in high temperature environments.

Platinum wire

Platinum also has stable conductivity at high temperatures. At the same time, its resistivity will increase slightly with the increase of temperature, but it will not significantly affect its conductivity.

  1. Application scenarios

Tungsten wire is more used in high temperature or high-strength environments, such as electric heating elements, filaments in lighting equipment, etc., but its conductivity is not as good as platinum wire.

Platinum wire is often used in chemical, electronic and medical equipment, especially in occasions that require good conductivity, corrosion resistance and chemical stability.
