What is the Main Composition of Black Tungsten Wire?

The primary composition of black tungsten wire is pure tungsten (W, chemical element symbol) or tungsten alloys doped with small amounts of other elements. Specifically:

Main Composition:

  • Tungsten: The core component of black tungsten wire is high-purity tungsten, typically with a purity of 99.95% or higher. Tungsten is widely used due to its extremely high melting point (approximately 3422°C), excellent mechanical strength, and good electrical conductivity.

Doping Elements (if applicable):

In some black tungsten wire production, small amounts of elements may be added to enhance performance (such as resistance to high-temperature deformation or ductility), including:

  • Potassium (K): Improves the high-temperature creep resistance, commonly used in filament manufacturing.
  • Aluminum (Al), Silicon (Si): Enhances wire-drawing performance or crystal structure.
  • Rare Earth Elements (e.g., Lanthanum, Cerium): Increases high-temperature stability and oxidation resistance.

The doping amount is typically very small, usually constituting less than 0.1% of the total composition.
