What Is the Effect of Surface Coating on Tungsten Wire on Performance?

The surface coating of tungsten wire has a significant effect on its performance. The following is a detailed analysis of the effect of surface coating on tungsten wire on performance:

  1. Improve the service life of tungsten wire

The coating on the surface of tungsten wire can reduce the influence of oxidation, corrosion and other factors on tungsten wire. For example, the gold plating can prevent current leakage and improve the efficiency of electronic equipment, while reducing the evaporation of tungsten wire and improving oxidation resistance. These characteristics all help to extend the service life of tungsten wire. In addition, the coating can also protect the tungsten wire from mechanical damage, such as scratches and impacts, thereby further extending its service life.

  1. Improve the high temperature resistance of tungsten wire

The coating material can improve the high temperature resistance of tungsten wire and make it more stable in high temperature environments. For example, in tungsten wire bulbs, tungsten wires are usually plated with a layer of metals such as tantalum, rhenium, copper or inorganic substances such as glass to improve their high temperature resistance and thus extend the life of the bulb.

  1. Enhance the electrical properties of tungsten wires

The coating can improve the electrical properties of tungsten wires. For example, the gold plating layer has excellent electrical insulation and high conductivity, which can significantly improve the performance and reliability of electronic equipment. At the same time, gold-plated tungsten wires also have lower resistance and higher corrosion resistance, allowing them to maintain stable performance even in high temperature and high humidity environments. These characteristics make gold-plated tungsten wires widely used in electronic components in electronic devices, such as laser diodes and light-emitting diodes.

  1. Influence on the thermal conductivity of tungsten wires

Although the coating can improve the high temperature resistance of tungsten wires, it may also have a certain effect on its thermal conductivity. On the one hand, the coating may increase the thermal resistance of tungsten wires, making heat transfer more difficult; on the other hand, some coating materials may have good thermal conductivity, which helps to quickly transfer heat. Therefore, when selecting coating materials, it is necessary to consider their impact on the thermal conductivity of tungsten wires.

  1. Other influences

In addition to the above influences, the coating on the surface of tungsten wire may also affect its welding performance, reflective performance, etc. For example, the gold-plated layer has excellent weldability and can achieve a more stable connection; at the same time, the gold-plated tungsten wire can also reflect the laser, which is conducive to the transmission of the laser between the electrode and the shielding gas.
