How to Detect Defects in Tungsten Wire?

Detecting defects in tungsten wire usually involves multiple aspects, including chemical composition, mechanical properties, microstructure, surface quality and resistivity. The following are some commonly used detection methods:

  1. Chemical composition analysis

Use X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) or energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) for quantitative analysis of chemical composition to ensure that the tungsten content and the proportion of other element components in the tungsten wire meet the relevant standards.

  1. Mechanical property test

Tensile strength test: Use a universal material testing machine to perform tensile tests to evaluate the mechanical properties of tungsten wire under different environments.

Elongation and hardness test: Through specific test methods, measure the elongation and hardness value of tungsten wire during the stretching process to determine the quality of its mechanical properties.

  1. Microstructure analysis

Microscope observation: Use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe the microstructure and surface state of tungsten wire, including grain structure, defects, etc.

Metallurgical microscope observation: Used to observe the metallographic structure of tungsten wire to provide support for microstructure analysis.

  1. Surface quality inspection

Appearance inspection: Check whether the color of the tungsten wire surface is bright silver-gray, and whether there are defects such as cracks and oxide layers.

Dimension measurement: Use tools such as vernier calipers to measure the size of the tungsten wire to ensure that it meets the design requirements.

Brittleness test: Use tensile tests and other methods to test the tensile resistance and mechanical strength of the tungsten wire to determine whether it has brittle defects.

  1. Resistivity test

The four-probe method is used to accurately measure the resistivity of the tungsten wire, evaluate its conductive properties, and ensure its effectiveness in electrical applications.

  1. Other special tests

Thermal conductivity test: Evaluate the thermal conductivity of tungsten wire.

Creep test: Load for a long time at high temperature and observe the deformation of tungsten wire.

Wire winding performance test: Test the performance of tungsten wire when it is wound into a spiral or other shape.

Deflection test: Measure the degree of bending of tungsten wire when subjected to external force.
