The toughness of tungsten wire for textiles weaving gloves has the following characteristics:
Toughness characteristics
Relatively low toughness:
Tungsten is a metal with high hardness and high strength, but its toughness is relatively low. Tungsten wire is particularly brittle at low temperatures and is prone to fracture or breakage at stress concentration sites.
Improved toughness at high temperatures:
Tungsten’s toughness improves as temperature increases. At high temperatures, the ductility and plasticity of tungsten wire increases, so it is more widely used in high-temperature environments.
Impact during processing:
Tungsten wire may undergo work hardening during processing if it is not properly heat treated or annealed, which further reduces its toughness.
Brittle-to-ductile transition:
Tungsten exhibits a brittle-to-ductile transition in some cases, that is, it is brittle at low temperatures but has good toughness at high temperatures. This property makes tungsten wire more suitable for high-temperature applications.
Application scenarios
High-temperature applications: Due to its good toughness at high temperatures, tungsten wire performs well in applications that need to withstand high temperatures, such as heating elements and high-temperature electrodes.
Precision braiding: In applications that require precision braiding, the toughness of tungsten wire may limit its use, especially at low temperatures or when large bends are required.
