How to Test the Conductivity of Tungsten Wire?

Testing the conductivity of tungsten wire can usually be achieved through the following methods:

  1. Resistivity measurement method

Principle:

The resistivity measurement method is to measure the resistance value of tungsten wire at a certain length and cross-sectional area to deduce its resistivity, thereby evaluating its conductive performance.

Steps:

Prepare a tungsten wire sample of known length and cross-sectional area.

Use a four-probe resistivity meter or other high-precision resistance measuring equipment to measure the resistance value of the tungsten wire sample.

Calculate the resistivity of the tungsten wire based on the resistance value, sample length and cross-sectional area.

Compare the calculated resistivity with the standard value or expected value to evaluate the conductive properties of the tungsten wire.

Notes:

Ensure the precision and accuracy of the measuring equipment to avoid the influence of errors on the test results.

During the measurement process, the temperature and environmental conditions of the tungsten wire sample should be kept stable to avoid the influence of temperature changes on the resistance value.

  1. Current-voltage method

Principle:

The current-voltage method is to apply a certain voltage to both ends of the tungsten wire and measure the current value passing through the tungsten wire. According to Ohm’s law, the resistance of the tungsten wire is calculated, and its conductive properties are evaluated.

Steps:

Prepare a section of tungsten wire sample and connect its two ends to the current source and voltmeter.

Apply a certain voltage to both ends of the tungsten wire and record the current value passing through the tungsten wire.

Use Ohm’s law (R=V/I) to calculate the resistance value of the tungsten wire.

Based on the resistance value and other related parameters (such as sample length, cross-sectional area, etc.), the resistivity or conductive properties of the tungsten wire can be further deduced.

Notes:

Ensure the precision and accuracy of the current source and voltmeter.

During the measurement process, care should be taken to prevent the tungsten wire from overheating or damage to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

  1. Other methods

In addition to the above two common methods, other methods can also be used to test the conductivity of tungsten wire, such as:

Eddy current detection method: Using the principle of electromagnetic induction, the eddy current generated by the tungsten wire in the alternating magnetic field is measured to evaluate its conductivity. This method is usually used for non-contact measurement and is suitable for fast and non-destructive detection of tungsten wire.

Electrochemical method: The conductivity of tungsten wire is evaluated by measuring the electrochemical behavior of tungsten wire in electrolyte solution. This method is usually used to study electrochemical processes such as oxidation and corrosion on the surface of tungsten wire.
