Tungsten Alloy Discs 18

The name “tungsten alloy disc” intuitively reflects its shape and material. Simply put, it is a disc made primarily of tungsten, combined with other metal elements such as nickel and iron through specific processes. In the field of materials science, this combination is not arbitrary but is deliberately designed to meet the demands of various complex application scenarios. Tungsten, as a metal, boasts numerous remarkable properties. With a melting point as high as 3,410°C, tungsten alloy discs exhibit exceptional high-temperature…

Why Tungsten Carbide Powder is an Ideal Tool Material? 20

Tungsten carbide powder (WC powder) is a compound composed of the refractory metal tungsten and non-metallic carbon, featuring high density, high melting point, high strength, high hardness, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and good electrical and thermal conductivity. These properties make it an ideal material for hard alloy tools. However, due to the high brittleness and poor toughness of pure WC powder, it is common to add appropriate amounts of binders such as cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr),…

Differences Between Thorium-Tungsten and Cerium-Tungsten Electrodes 31

Although both thorium-tungsten and cerium-tungsten electrodes are primarily made from metal tungsten and cerium-tungsten can often substitute for thorium-tungsten, differences in their dopants lead to variations in appearance, performance, production processes, and applications. 1. Definition Thorium-tungsten refers to an electrode product with a chemical composition mainly consisting of tungsten and thorium oxide, designated as WT20, marked with a red color code. Its diameter ranges from 1.0 to 12.0 mm, with lengths of 150 mm or 175 mm. Cerium-tungsten is an…

Thorium-Tungsten Electrode 27

Like cerium-tungsten, lanthanum-tungsten, zirconium-tungsten, and yttrium-tungsten electrodes, the thorium-tungsten electrode is a product made by doping metal tungsten with the corresponding oxide. Though it was the earliest used and remains the best-performing tungsten electrode for welding to date, its strong radioactivity has led to its gradual replacement by rare earth tungsten electrodes. Below is an introduction to the basic information about thorium-tungsten electrodes. 1. Definition Known as Thoriated Tungsten Electrode in English, it is a tungsten electrode containing 1-1.2% thorium…

Tungsten Alloy Shielding Component 14

Compared to traditional shielding materials such as iron, lead, and cement, tungsten alloy shielding components offer superior overall performance. For instance, under the same thickness and working conditions, tungsten alloy shielding materials provide better or longer-lasting shielding effectiveness and service life than traditional materials. Moreover, it is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and non-radioactive material, thus posing no secondary harm to the ecosystem. Below is an introduction to the basic information about these alloy shielding components. 1. Definition It is both…

Reason for Adding Rare Earth Oxides to Tungsten Electrodes 10

Metal tungsten, due to its high melting point, strong electron emission capability, and low vapor pressure, has become the preferred choice for thermionic emission materials. However, its high electron work function, elevated electrode tip temperature, and tendency for grain growth lead to unstable arc beams, difficult arc initiation, and a short service life in pure tungsten electrodes, limiting their use to alternating current welding. To overcome these drawbacks, manufacturers often add rare earth oxides with low electron work functions, such…

Requirements of Diamond Wire for Tungsten Core Wire 36

As one of the primary cutting tools for high-hardness brittle materials, the quality of diamond wire depends not only on the production method, the size and distribution density of diamond particles, but also on the performance and thickness of the tungsten wire core. Generally, cutting wire produced using an electroplating process offers stronger cutting ability compared to that made with resin binders, primarily due to better diamond consolidation. The size of diamond particles should be moderate and evenly distributed; if…
