The surface oxidation of tungsten wire will affect its performance and service life, so it is very important to take effective preventive measures during storage and use. Here are some effective ways to prevent the surface oxidation of tungsten wire:
- Control environmental conditions
Reduce humidity: Keep the humidity of the storage environment below 50%. High humidity will accelerate the oxidation process. Use desiccant or dehumidifier to control humidity.
Temperature control: Avoid storing tungsten wire in a high temperature environment. Suitable storage temperature can slow down oxidation.
- Atmosphere protection
Inert gas protection: During welding or heating, inert gases such as argon and nitrogen are used to protect the tungsten wire to prevent reaction with oxygen.
Vacuum packaging: When storing for a long time, the tungsten wire can be placed in a vacuum packaging bag to prevent oxygen contact.
- Surface treatment
Coating protection: Apply a high-temperature resistant protective coating on the surface of the tungsten wire to reduce direct contact with oxygen and moisture.
Chemical treatment: Chemically treat the tungsten wire, such as chrome plating, nickel plating, etc., to enhance its antioxidant capacity.
- Reasonable storage
Avoid direct contact with air: Store the tungsten wire in a sealed container and try to avoid direct contact with air.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the state of the stored tungsten wire to ensure that there is no sign of oxidation.
- Use appropriate welding methods
Argon arc welding: Using argon arc welding technology during the welding process can effectively reduce oxidation in the welding area.
Low-oxygen welding wire: Use low-oxygen welding wire during the welding process to reduce the oxidation effect on the tungsten wire.
- Avoid pollution
Cleaning treatment: Before using the tungsten wire, ensure that its surface is free of oil, dust and other contaminants, which will accelerate oxidation.
Avoid contact with acidic and alkaline substances: During storage and use, tungsten wire should avoid contact with acidic or alkaline substances, which will accelerate oxidation.
- Education and training
Operator training: Operators are trained to understand the characteristics of tungsten wire and oxidation prevention measures to ensure that correct measures are taken during operation and storage.
