Does the Production of Cleaned Tungsten Wire Require a Vacuum Environment?

Certain production steps require a vacuum or inert gas (e.g., hydrogen) environment, as detailed below:

  • Sintering: Performed under vacuum or hydrogen protection to prevent oxidation of the tungsten blank.
  • Swaging and Drawing: Some high-temperature processing is conducted in a hydrogen atmosphere to prevent surface oxidation.
  • Annealing: Typically carried out in a vacuum or hydrogen furnace to avoid contamination by impurities such as oxygen and nitrogen.
  • Surface Treatment: Electrolytic polishing or chemical cleaning may be performed in a vacuum or inert environment.

A vacuum environment can reduce oxidation and improve tungsten wire purity and surface quality, but it is not required for all steps; hydrogen protection is more commonly used.
